1. A golf tournament fundraiser at Old Monterey Golf Course with the pro-ceeds benefiting the High Ground Memorial & National D-Day Memorial.
2. Dynamic seminars to educate and inform you on a variety of relevantsubjects and fraternal activities.
3. The opportunity for great tours of the star city (these arrangements should
be made on your own.)

We hope that each of you will be able to join us as we continue to preserve our

High Ground, the stately Veterans Monument located o
the grounds of the Vinton War Memorial honors past Vin
and Roanoke County residents who were killed in action
along with military men and women who have or are curr
serving.
The handcrafted monument is the first piece of public art
Vinton. The name of the monument, High Ground, cam
from a Vietnam War veteran who said in battle, a soldie
always looks for the high ground. Likewise, visitors crosthe compass plaza to the octagonal pavilion will find thei
attention drawn ever upwards: up the broad steps, up the
rough rocks and terraced fountain, to the granite panels
scribed with the names of fallen soldiers and up again to
bronze American flag. Finally, the visitors attention will b
drawn to the inscription encircling the architectural-cast
concrete lintels overhead: HERE PAUSE AWHILE TO
BLESS THEIR SLEEP WHO FELL IN WAR TO SAV
OUR PEACE THEN GO RENEWED AND BUILD TH
LIVES THEY LOST FOR YOU IN GOD WE TRUST.
