Blue Star Marker Dedication

Shellman, Georgia

On May 20, 2010 My Bride and I traveled to Shellman, Georgia which is in the heart of Plantation Country in Southwest, Georgia to so that she could participate in the Dedication of a Blue Star Marker.

Part of the Dedication Ceremony involved the Junior Garden Club known as the Azalea Buds. They placed small rocks at the base of the Marker.

Here you see Garden Club ladies unveil the Memorial Marker. The Marker was sponsored in part by the ladies of two Garden Clubs - The Azalea Garden Club of Cuthbert/Shellman and The Camellia Garden Club of Cuthbert.

The Dedication was concluded with the playing of "Taps" and was certainly a fitting tribute to those Heroes who have gone on. As a Veteran of the U. S. Navy my heart swelled with pride as this Dedication Ceremony concluded.

Well Done!!!




The town of Shellman, Georgia can certainly be proud of this Memorial Marker. The park where it is placed also includes a Memorial with names of the Veterans who have served our Great Country who joined from the Shellman area.
