MARIETTA, Ga. — The city of Marietta last week unveiled a statue dedicated to the families and loved ones of the military and first responders.
“It’s important to recognize and to salute those families and loved ones for their sacrifices every day,” Kiwanis Club of Marietta president Victoria Turney said in a city-issued news release.
The new “Forever Remember” statue is located in a park at the corner of Anderson and Roswell streets near the town’s square. The park will be completed and formally dedicated at a later date, according to the city.
“This is part of a project throughout Marietta to green up the entryways into the city, and create better public spaces and new parks,” city manager Bill Bruton said in a news release. “The project will make everything look a little bit nicer coming in, and really reflect the wonderful attitude we have here in Marietta by the looks of our streets, entryways and gateways coming in.”
