December 12, 2003 -- Sam Hurst, left, and Courtney Burkhalter,
both of Centre, representatives of the U.S. Armed Forces Tribute
Foundation, were on campus Friday to promote plans to build a 1400-acre military
memorial park with "Walls of Valor" that will exhibit lists of living
and deceased servicemen from all branches of the military. The park is being
planned in Oglethorpe County, GA. Mrs. Hurst is holding a sample of the
tee shirts that will go to those who contribute toward the purchase and
development of the land, which will feature "the world's tallest flag
pole" at 550 feet tall, a Field of Flags representing all five branches of
the military, and Paths of Allegiance. Ms. Burkhalter holds artist's renderings
of the proposed park. For more information about the park, contact the
organization at 256-549-1224 or at 1-800-311-4070. The Foundation's web
address is www.ustributefoundation.us.
