Veteran's Day 2018

This series of pictures displays both Blue Star Memorial 
Markers and the three Gold Star Memorial Markers.

I do not have pictures of all the Blue Star Markers in Georgia however
I include the three Gold Star Markers in Georgia.

By looking at each picture you can determine the location
of the Marker.

I would suggest to each of you that you take this
opportunity to share this Post with your Young Citizens so that they may
gain an appreciation of our Heroes and why they
served our United States of America!
Thank You!!
