On Saturday November 9th 2013, five cadets from the Centennial HS Army JROTC along with numerous local dignitaries attended the ground breaking ceremony for the Johns Creek Veterans Memorial Walk that will be built at Newtown Park. The Johns Creek Veterans Association in partnership with the City of Johns Creek is building the Johns Creek Veterans Memorial Walk as a place to celebrate the peace ensured by the service and sacrifice of those in uniform. The Veterans Memorial Walk will feature an entry plaza leading to concrete paths connecting ten memorial plazas. The project is being funded through corporate and private donations and through the sale of engraved pavers in which family and friends can pay tribute to specific veterans. About half of the $13,000 required for the project has been raised. For more information visit www.johnscreekga.gov/JCVA.
