The Veteran's Memorial
Typed and contributed by Lygia Dawkins Cutts  
August 13, 1997

       I have always wondered what it would be like 
to visit the memorial of the Vietnam Veteran's, to 
read the names of the men and women who served our 
country. I have seen the pictures on TV in the news 
of people visiting it and there has always been a 
solemn feeling come over me. Today, I visited the 
Memorial on the lawn of the Escambia County Courthouse 
in Brewton, AL .  This  Memorial is dedicated to the 
men and women of Escambia County who have served their 
country. I have often seen this memorial but never 
stopped and really looked at it. Today, I shared the 
feeling of the thousands of people who have visited 
Memorials such as this all over the Nation. It's a feeling 
of pride, compassion, respect and reverence. I am very 
grateful to the People of Escambia County for erecting 
this monument.

inscriptions on each section.
