"FLORENCE - At the Boone County Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the Florence Government Center, 44 active duty military personnel are being thought of by their mothers, members of the Blue Star Mothers of America, through brick pavers, which carry the etching of their name, rank, and branch.
The brick pavers were planted into the surrounding memorial on May 2 with the help of Florence Rotary Club members and students from Boone County Schools Alternative Center for Education.
Lorene Friedman, secretary for Blue Star Mothers local chapter, has two grandsons serving in the military. She said the design of the memorial, located in front of the Florence Government Center, makes it the perfect place to visit, reflect, and pray."
