A Living Memorial to Central’s Vets

So That We May Be Free…

“This memorial is for those sons and daughters of the United States with this testament of service to our country.  We praise their courage and devotion. When called to defend freedom, they answered. For those who perished, we owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. Let the stars in the heavens guide them eternally. For all those who endured the battlefield and returned to live a full life in our community, we thank you for fighting, so that we may be free.”  — Central Veterans Memorial on Sullivan Road near Hooper, completed in 2016, Charles Lee Hinton, organizer
