Blue Star Memorial Marker

Dedication

Floyd Veterans Memorial

Building

November 7, 2014

The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. In Cooperation with The State of Georgia unveiled and dedicated a Marker Honoring with Grateful Hearts Those Who Defend Our Freedom.

Here you see John with the Georgia Building Checking out the Marker Post and also calling the appropriate Staff to mount the Memorial Marker early on 7 November 2014.

The Marker was installed at the Corner of the covered portico that State of Georgia  Lawmakers and Staff use to pass from the Capital to the Floyd Veterans Memorial Building.  This is a view looking toward the Capital from the location of the Marker.

Here you see the Staff of the Georgia Building Authority unwrapping the Marker as they prepare to mount it on the post.

Placing the Marker on the Post.

Yes, this is the correct angle for this Marker to present the maximum impact for the State of Georgia Workers and Lawmakers as they proceed to the Floyd Veterans Building11

John and Taylor pose for this picture with the vailed Marker.  Without the efforts of the Georgia Building Authority Staff this presentation would not have been so well presented.  Unfortunately the other Staff Member had departed before this picture was taken.

The Marker ready to be unveiled.

This is where the ceremony was conducted.  The dedication speakers and the entire program was conducted in the Lobby of the West Tower of the Floyd Veterans Memorial Building.  

Here you see the President Elect of the Garden Club of Georgia - Martha Price, Janice Thiese, The State Blue Star Marker Chairperson along with COL Dwayne Wilson of the Georgia National Guard prepare to unveil the Memorial Marker.

COL Dwayne Wilson was the Keynote speaker for this Dedication Event.  Here you see the Marker immediately after the Cover was removed!!!!
