Monument takes its place
Posted by Backroadsnews on Jun 30, 2009 in Uncategorized |
The new mini Washington Monument has been put in place today at the Washington County Veterans Memorial Airport. The Washington Rotary Club organized the monument effort, which was originally slated to be placed in downtown Washington.
Brad Portenier and the folks at Bradford did a great job constructing the obelisk and when they slid it onto the post formerly occupied by the jet, it was obviously precision made.
While I would have preferred it downtown, I think it looks pretty good and will definitely attract some attention from passers-by.
Check out our facebook page a little later to see more pictures.
THE MONUMENT AT THE AIRPORT LOOKS GREAT. THANK HEAVENS THAT IT WAS PUT THERE SO ALL Of WASHINGTON COUNTY PEOPLE CAN SEE IT, NOT JUST IN TOWN FOR LOCALS.
That looks so much nicer than the pole sticking out of the ground.
I miss the pole.
LEADBELLY. IF YOU SO MUCH MISS THE POLE, THEN GO SIT ON IT FOR WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. LOL
What ever happen to that plane ?
It appears to me we have replaced the jet with a rocket. Nice monument – great idea – poor location.
