Okaloosa County, Florida is building a new veterans memorial at Veterans Park, but it isn’t just any memorial, this statue installation is dedicated specifically to veteran women.
The county plans to finish the memorial of eight bronze statues by Veterans Day 2021, which will honor eight incredible women chosen for their significant military service contributions during periods of major conflicts throughout U.S. history.
The eight women were chosen by the county Women’s Veteran Memorial Advisory Committee:
Revolutionary War / Margaret Corbin
Civil War / Cathay Williams:
World War I / Lenah Higbee:
World War II / Jacqueline Cochran:
Korean War / Jonita Bonham:
Vietnam War / Sharon Lane Persian:
Gulf War / Leigh Ann Hester:
War in Afghanistan / Nasima Dada:
The eight statues will line the walking trail at the 17.5 acre Veterans Park, close to the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center and Choctawhatchee Bay.
You can find out more about these women here.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
You could certainly see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. All the time follow your heart.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
