Moving the Memorial, part 1




In the Spring, amid some controversy, the decision was made to try to move the memorial.

City, county, and school board officials have worked together and the Memorial will be rededicated on November 11, 2014.
 
In the Fall, the memorial began to move...you can see a video of it being removed from the high school's grounds:
