As a retired officer in the U.S Air Force, I would like to express publicly my sincere thanks for a job well done by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 2889, the American Legion Post 34 and the city of Rock Hill in providing this beautiful tribute to the veterans in the dedication of the new veterans memorial at Glencairn Garden.

I also want to thank the volunteers and others who made the day of the dedication such a pleasure.
