Old Homosassa will soon have a community sponsored Veteran's Memorial. It will be dedicated to those who have shown a willingness to give their lives for the United States of America. Words cannot express the gratitude owed to them for the Freedoms we enjoy. We offer our interminable appreciation for their service to our country and the sacrifices they have made. The existing monument, provided by the Rotary Club of Homosassa Springs will be integrated into the new monument. This monument is now located on Yulee drive in Old Homosassa, opposite the Old Homosassa Elementary School. The new monument will be 6 ft in width by 6 ft 2 inches in height, it will have (6) 8 inch medallions representing each branch of the Armed Forces, this will include one for the POW's. Above the medallions will be the inscription "DEDICATED TO OUR HEROES ALL THAT SERVE" It is our intent to place two granite benches in the area as soon as possible. Granite markers will be placed at the base of the monument for family and friends to honor those that have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces. The granite markers are 11 ¼ inch by 6 inch, a donation of $100 is required for each marker which will include 25 free letters. There are a total of 64 spaces are available on the marker, additional letters will be $2 each. YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED AND DEEPLY APPRECIATED .In order to raise money for this monument the Old Homosassa Veteran's Memorial Group and the VFW Post #8189 are providing American flags for a minimum donation of $20, and a drawing. |
We who live in freedom today can only acknowledge, never repay our debt to those who served |
