This park, a long time dream of Past-CEO and President J.R. Brunson, is dedicated
to the memory of those men and women from Coffee County, Alabama who made the supreme
sacrifice in defense of our Nation. The names of those who died in World War I,
World War II, Korea and Vietnam are displayed. Also on display are plaques commemorating
the service of Coffee County service members during Desert Storm, and commemorating
the military service of women. Static displays currently include an M101 Towed Howitzer
and a UH-1 Huey (“Iroquois”) helicopter. The Park also includes the Sergeant Jason
Jordan Memorial – in memory of a Coffee County native killed in action in Iraq during
the War on Terrorism. The memorial has a large central plaza which has a 45 foot
white star with a blue background. Widely used to identify U.S. planes in WWII,
this emblem serves as a constant reminder to local army aviators of our appreciation
for their commitment. The theme of the 5-point star is carried out in the five lanes
of the walkway and five steps to the central plaza. From the points of the star
fly the flags of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard to honor
veterans from each branch of service. The park is open around the clock daily with
the U.S. flag lighted at night. For the dedication of the memorial, Wm. Barry Brunson,
the late son of President J.R. Brunson, penned the above words to commemorate the
fallen soldiers. We welcome you to come view the memorial and repeat the Pledge
of Allegiance.
