North Carolina Veterans Park Dedication Ceremony July 4th, 2011

North Carolina Veterans Park, Fayetteville, North Carolina is hosting its Dedication Ceremony on July 4th 2011 at 10:00 am.

The park's theme is: "A Veteran's Journey: life before, during and after service."

"Dozens of artistic details pay homage to the state and veterans. Since the park is for all branches of service, many places in the park have themes of five.

There will be both apparent and subtle symbolism in the three main outdoor areas of the park: Community Plaza, Service Plaza and the Reflection Garden."

North Carolina Artisans at Custom Glass and Doors of Raleigh, North Carolina was commissioned for this amazing work. Seen here is Owner of CG&D Trip Cathcart at the Veterans Park install.
