Highland City has been finishing the cemetery near our home. It is really becoming a beautiful area. We have gone on several Sunday evening walks as a family into the cemetery. One special spot is the Veteran's Memorial. The statue is of a local teenager who is supporting his grandfather, who in turn helped another soldier walk during a long march in the snow during WWII. Above them is an angel giving heavenly assistance through the storm. It was the Eagle Project for the Highland teenager in the statue. It is quite remarkable. As part of the project families can purchase stones to engrave a tribute to loved ones, particularly war veterans. Mike and I purchased these two for grandpa Greene and his brother-in-law Max. We want to puchase one more for Mike's great uncle. The children can go to the cemetery and find the stones and remember the freedom that their forefathers fought for. We would love to show extended family the stones the next time you come visit us.
