Duluth Unveils Living Honorarium

Duluth and Gwinnett County officials officiated Sunday afternoon at the unveiling of the Living Honorarium on the Duluth Town Green on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. A firefighter in the bucket of a Gwinnett Fire Department truck lifted the parachute that had covered the monument revealing a obelisk held aloft by bronze figures representing all U.S. military service branches, police officers, firefighters, and emergency service providers. The stone base is engraved with words of appreciation to those who keep citizens safe every day. A circle of curved benches surrounds the monument. Atlanta sculptor Martin Dawe designed the monument.
