This article is about an ongoing problem at the Veterans Wall of Honor at Heritage Park in McDonough, GA. For several years the Wall has needed some TLC. Looking at some recent photos of the Wall in 2018 you can see where the stone has become more discolored, there are stars missing from the plaques on the Wall, the stanchions that hold the flag poles are still in bad condition, the pavers are not looking good and some of the ink is missing from the names, and the main flagpole base on all four sides has ink missing from the words of the Pledge of Allegiance. Back over eight years ago, the county was to start and do something about maintaining this site for the Veterans. They did some work at that time and it is appreciated, but the time since then has taken its toll on the wall. At that time stars were bought to fix those missing from that time and they had enough to last a while, but as you can see in the photos those stars are once again missing. The Henry County government should take more of a role in taking care of this site for the Veterans and loved ones of those Veterans. Henry County is lax in that department. Any monument or memorial to our Veterans should be maintained especially when it is on County Property and the families who paid for those pavers and there are many would like to see them maintained.
