BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 19, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: The Veterans Tribute Tower of Northwest Florida
SUBJECT: Veterans Tribute Tower Proclamation
BACKGROUND: For many years, this area of Northwest Florida has proven vital for our
national defense. With our current and retired military personnel, Fort Walton Beach and the
surrounding area is rich with tradition, patriotism and our chosen colors of red, white & blue.
The Veterans Tribute Tower, destined for the main entrance to the Beal Memorial Cemetery, will
yield the respect we all feel for our area veterans. This tower will be a gathering place for
national holidays, a garden of reflection, and a place of honor. It will stand as a reflection of
honor to all those who have served.
The construction project for the tower is sponsored the Veterans Tribute Tower in Northwest Florida.
This organization is a non-profit group of volunteers determined to help The Veterans Tribute Tower become a
reality.
RECOMMENDATION: Board approval of Proclamation of Support for the Veterans Tribute
Tower of Northwest Florida.
