Two Veterans Work To Clean Up Town Of Century’s Neglected Veterans Wall Of Honor
October 29, 2024
UPDATE: We are told the Town of Century began power washing the memorial Tuesday afternoon.
Two North Escambia veterans worked to clean up the Veterans Wall of Honor in Century Monday after seeing how the Town of Century had neglected upkeep.
Sunday morning, NorthEscambia.com published a story about a veterans’ motorcycle club that held a small ceremony Saturday morning in Century to honor those missing in action and that have given their lives for this county.
Viet Nam & Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club member Kris Fleming, who spoke at the Saturday event, returned Monday morning to trim the grass and edge around the wall. Craig Stephens, a retired Marine Corp officer went by and washed the wall.
The “before” picture is above, and the “after” is below.
“Still not the greatest, but better than before,” Stephens wrote on our Facebook page Monday afternoon. ”Best I could do without a water source at the park. If anyone knows of a portable pressure washer who would volunteer some time to clean the rest of the brick and the concrete floor.”
Both veterans said they would follow up with the town about the poor state of the wall, and work to replace name plaques that are broken and missing (pictured below).
The veterans wall of honor was dedicated by the Town of Century on July 2, 2008, at the then Roadside Park, now known as Nadine McCaw Park, on North Century Boulevard at Hecker Road. The town’s latest budget (pictured bottom) does not show any money allocation to maintain the monument.
