Of veterans who have and are currently serving. Under partly cloudy, then sunny, then grey clouds, Alachua County honored Veterans at the Veterans Memorial at Kanapaha Park. ~ Veterans Day Celebration. This year we will recognize all U.S. military veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom-the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Through the generosity of citizens throughout North Central Florida, six Alachua County residents who have been killed in those engagements will be recognized with an expansion of the Memorial. The addition will feature both operations and will duplicate the design and scale of the original Memorial.
