Salute! A Tribute to
America's Veterans
Because they serve,
we are free.
By purchasing a brick, or by supporting the Walk of Honor
in other ways, you not only help create a lasting memorial for veterans
and emergency service personnel, you also create an opportunity for
awareness of the sacrifices made by those who have selflessly served
our great country. Brick orders are place twice each year on Memorial Day and
Veteran's Day
Kinston and
Lenoir County has a Proud Heritage
Kinston and Lenoir County, North Carolina has
played a significant role in over two hundred years of American
military history.
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.
