Honoring our local Military Men and Women
In Spring 2014, the Military Service Walk was dedicated to the Columbus community. Located in Woodruff Park, eight stainless steel plaques mounted on North Georgia granite monuments bases solemnly rest along a curving path on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Each memorialized stainless steel plaque “letter” has a connection to the Chattahoochee Valley area. The “letters” were sent or received from loved ones from our community during any military conflict . Large boulders harvested from the river, along with brick seat walls are placed at the top of the slope create a somber, elegant space to reflect and rest. A single up-lit American Flag stands guard over the letters. Rolling berms and landscaping complete the Military Service Walk landscape.
