During the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, major battles that shaped the history of our nation occurred in and around Kinston. During World Wars I and II, tens of thousands of soldiers from military bases throughout Eastern North Carolina chose the friendly town of Kinston to visit for rest and recreation before being deployed overseas.  The Korean War brought hundreds of Air Force Cadets to Kinston. Over several months, they learned to fly at nearby Stallings Air Force Base. This property today is known as North Carolina's Global Transpark. All funds received from brick sales will be used only for operation, maintenance and development of the Walk of Honor. Herman H.
