Brevard County Veterans Memorial Garden gets new monument

New monument honors Vietnam vets
BY R. NORMAN MOODY • FLORIDA TODAY • May 6, 2009


Veterans installed the second in a series of monuments -- this one in honor of those who served in Vietnam -- that will be part of the Brevard Veterans Memorial Garden.

The garden, to be built in the shadow of two Vietnam-era helicopters and a tank, will have a central monument with brick walkways, benches, landscaping and memorials to those who served in the different wars.

The granite monument installed Tuesday will be repositioned once the memorial garden is built.

Skip Bateman, chairman of the Brevard Veterans Council, said they have been waiting for permitting from the county, but that work on the monuments is proceeding.

The Korean War monument was the first to be installed about a year ago.

"As long as we keep doing stuff, we know it's going to happen," Bateman said.
