Acworth Releases Memorial Day Plans

Join the city of Acworth on Saturday, May 25 at 10 a.m. at Patriots Point at Cauble Park, home of the Veterans Memorial to honor the men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty while defending our Nation and its values.

The city of Acworth would like to pay homage to those who faithfully served and made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The ceremony will last approximately 45 minutes and is the perfect opportunity to set aside time to reflect on the cost of our freedom. Alan Price, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF Reserve, Retired will be the keynote speaker. 

If you have not seen the Veterans Memorial at Patriot’s Point at Cauble Park, make sure you visit us on Saturday, May 25. The service flags of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Cost Guard surround the American Flag. The concrete dome structure is surrounded by a paver walkway with engraved pavers. You can still honor a veteran by purchasing pavers. The pavers are available in 4x4 or 8x8 sizes. With the 4x4, you get three lines, each with up to 18 characters engraved on the pavers. The 8x8 comes with four lines, each with up to 18 characters engraved on it.

For more information about the ceremony or to purchase a paver visit www.acworthparksandrecreation.org or call the Parks and Recreation Office at 770-917-1234.
