Abstract:
Broadway in Lee County is the site for the state's only memorial dedicated to all past, present, and future military personnel. The North Carolina Veteran's Memorial was dedicated on November 13, 2005. By design the memorial and surrounding park is a work in progress. The goal is to have the name of every North Carolinian who has served in the military on plaques in the memorial. Each plaque holds eighty-eight names. The number of names is approaching 600 at present.
