MAY WE NEVER FORGET--

Storm cloud remnants paint the evening sky over Veterans Memorial Island in Vero Beach, Florida.  Nearby, the swish of the intercoastal waterway adds solace to the soul of quietly wandering visitors.

This artificial island was built from the soil, first dredged in the Indian River during construction of the intercoastal waterway in the 1930s. 

The island memorial was dedicated in 1964 and today, this huge American Flag, visible from the mainland and the barrier island, salutes the country’s veterans 24 hours per day.
