“The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.”
— Calvin Coolidge
Wall of Honor, POW/MIA
The Wall of Honor and POW/MIA Tribute were created in remembrance of and in honor of all veterans who have served our great nation.
Flags representing each state and every branch of the U.S. military flank the Remembrance Path, where bricks pave the way toward these moving and meaningful tributes.
The walls themselves display photographs depicting images and moments from each American war, serving as a visual reminder of the sacrifices made by generations of Americans.
On the backside of the wall is a list honoring all fallen Georgia heroes, ensuring that their names and sacrifices are never forgotten.
“America keeps a vigil for those who have not yet returned.”
— Ronald Reagan
Chapel
Hanging on the walls of this solemn gallery are 95 photographs honoring fallen Georgia heroes, spanning from World War I to the present day.
Every morning, this room is the first stop. These fallen heroes are greeted with a heartfelt “Good morning,” and each evening, it is the final stop, where they are told “Good night.”
The lights in this room are never turned off. Their memory, their sacrifice, and their legacy will never be left in the dark.
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15 v 13
