New Memorial Honors Veterans
August 23, 2010
A new monument in Atmore honors veterans from across the area.
The memorial, a two-year joint project of the Atmore Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Atmore American Legion Post 90, was created by Weaver Monument Company in Flomaton. It was erected this week in front of the Atmore City Hall.
The monument honors deceased veterans from a different branch of service on each of its four sides.

Thank you Weavers , Atmore VFW and American Legion for such an impressive monument.
This is a great tribute to our fellow Americans that have paid the ultimate price for the rest of us.Thumbs up to the the city of Atmore and to Weaver’s for the great work on the monument.In a day of nothing but negative news a story like this makes me feel proud to be an American.Ive always said only two people that will offer to die for you,and that is Jesus Christ and the American soldier.One dies for your sins and the other for your freedom.I take this opportunity to say thank you to all who have served present and past.Maybe Flomaton can get one erected at the park.This would be a worthwhile project to do.A.W THOMPSON MOSQUITO FLATS,FLORIDA U.S.A.
