Narrows, VA
Veterans Memorial Park
The Veterans Memorial Park for Giles County is a public park that was dedicated in 2004, and founded by Randall W. Fletcher, a friend of Chaplain Moses. It is located on Kimberling street in Downtown Narrows, VA.
VFW Post 6000 developed a design for the park which features five black granite monuments bearing seals in tribute to the five branches of the U.S. military: Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard. Eight flagpoles surround the monuments, flying flags for each military branch, a POW-MIA flag, a Virginia state flag and the U.S. flag.
In 2015, the Veteran’s honor wall was completed for the 2015 Veterans Day service. The black granite wall lists 1,236 names of servicemen and women. In addition, two memorial granite benches were constructed near the wall; one donated by the Ladies Auxiliary, and one by American Legion Post 68. We placed a memorial wreath at the park.
Montvale, VA
Exxon
The Outreach group got to the next fuel stop, the Exxon station in Montvale, VA, before the main pack. Several minutes later they arrived and after fueling up, we proceeded to Montvale Elementary School
Montvale Elementary School
At Montvale Elementary School, we were greeted by loud chants of “U S A, U S A, U S A.” A group of JROTC cadets lined the entranceway to the school.
For lunch we had Chick-fil-A sandwiches, chips, cookies and drinks.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Midway Route Photos from previous runs are no longer available.
