BROTHERS IN ARMS
Dunwoody is unveiling an epic monument at Brook Run Park this winter. The Vietnam War Memorial will honor both American infantry and South Vietnamese soldiers who fought for freedom with two life-sized bronze-cast statues representing each nationality. The statues will stand side by side in a beautifully landscaped central plaza with marble benches, located about 100 feet from the newly renovated DeKalb Veterans Memorial, with a connecting sidewalk. Only the seventh such tribute in the country, according to the City of Dunwoody, the $440,300 project is funded entirely by donations from the Vietnamese American Community of Georgia and the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association.

PATRIOT PROUD
Brookhaven residents have a new space to stretch their legs. Langford Park opened earlier this year in the Brookhaven Heights neighborhood on Pine Grove Avenue. Paying tribute to soldiers who died in action, the 1-acre pocket park is named for local fallen war hero Robert C. “Bob” Langford who lost his life in Vietnam. The city of Brookhaven and DeKalb County jointly purchased the property from the Langford family for the $1.1 million project. The park features a playground, bocce ball court, sheltered pavilion, water fountains for people and pets, and walking trails.
