every one of you are all invited as well as the public it's uh it's really coming together and I'm really honored uh that we're actually going to have uh a park that is worthy of the
sacrifice I truly believe that the blood that was shed on that faithful day is the foundation of the great city of pombay along with the great uh County of bravard County so thank you Mr chair and and you are going to have some events down there um in the subsequently yes
sir actually we didn't want I mean to further discuss we didn't want to show that ribbon cutting in conjunction with the memorial cuz uh every year we lay a reef in honor of those that were Fallen
