Marshall Park Dedication, November 8, 1997, Augusta, Kentucky 
(Bracken County)

It is only fitting that the week before our nation celebrates Veterans 
Day, Marshall Park, located at the corner of Second and Frankfort 
Streets in Augusta will be dedicated.  The park is named in honor of 
General George Catlett Marshall, Jr., U. S. Army Chief of Staff during 
World War II; creator of the Marshall Plan, and Nobel Prize winner.  
Marshall's parents, George and Laura Bradford Marshall, were natives of 
Augusta.  A gift from Nick and Nina Clooney, the beautifully landscaped 
park includes three bronze plaques carrying the names of 21 Bracken 
Countians who lost their lives in World War II.
