Veterans Day Ceremony — Cauble Park, Acworth

About this adventure

The City of Acworth marks Veterans Day with a ceremony at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11, at the Veterans Memorial at Patriot's Point in Cauble Park, honoring residents who have served and those serving now. The memorial is a concrete dome surrounded by a walkway of engraved pavers, with the service flags of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard flying around the American flag, which gives children a concrete way to learn about the branches of the military and what the day means. Families who want to honor a relative can order an engraved paver in a 4×4 size with three lines or an 8×8 size with four lines, each line up to 18 characters; order forms are available at the Acworth Parks and Recreation office, at City Hall or online. The ceremony is scheduled for about an hour, so it fits a short outing with school-age children who have the day off.
