On a cold Veteran’s Day, several Taylorville residents gathered to recognize the many local veterans along with dedicating part of the Memorial Wall and raising the brand new Space Force flag at a dedication ceremony at the Lake Taylorville Veterans Point Memorial.  Pastor Chad Zueck, of Calvary Baptist Church in Taylorville, spoke at the ceremony.  A Navy Veteran, Zueck recognized that every single person there, regardless of job, had an important mission, even if they didn’t serve. 

The Lake Taylorville Veterans Point Memorial has plans in place for future updates, including stones in the middle that will mark each of the conflicts that the USA has been involved in, including a fountain that will symbolize the many tears that have fallen to mark those wars.
