North Escambia Memorials Honor Those That Served
May 25, 2009
People across North Escambia and the country paused to remember the brave men and women that have served our country today as we celebrated Memorial Day on Monday.
In North Escambia, there are memorials that honor those that have serviced in the military:
Walnut Hill
The largest such memorial in the North Escambia area, the Veteran’s Honor Wall has stood in front of the Walnut Hill Community Center since its dedication in 2003. There are nearly 300 names on the wall, including 13 names of soldiers killed in action. The wall honors those from the Walnut Hill area that have served in the nation’s military.
The Walnut Hill Veterans Wall is located in front of the Walnut Hill Community Center at 7850 Highway 97.
Century
About 30 of those that served from the Century area are now honored on the Century Veteran’s Wall of Honor that was unveiled in the Fourth of July ceremony at Century’s Roadside Park on Highway 29.
Barrineau Park
The Wall of Honor inside the Barrineau Park Community Center honors over 100 people that have served in the military. The wall was a project of the Barrineau Park Historical Society.

God Bless Everybody that has served or is serving now. We appreciate you!!!
Thank you to the members of Walnut Hill Baptist Church – I put out new flowers and flags on Thursday for my son, PFC Russell Stewart, USMC, and the Stewart family on Thursday. I had a few extra flags that I added for those that I knew had served, but not enough for all of these heroes. I went back this morning after attending the sunrise service at the Wall of the South, and was happy to see that a lot more flags had been placed throughout the cemetary.
Thank you for remembering from the family of Jerry Wayne Corley…
