2. Dynamic seminars to educate and inform you on a variety of relevantsubjects and fraternal activities.

3. The opportunity for great tours of the star city (these arrangements should

be made on your own.)

High Ground, the stately Veterans Monument located o

the grounds of the Vinton War Memorial honors past Vin

and Roanoke County residents who were killed in action

along with military men and women who have or are curr

serving.

The handcrafted monument is the first piece of public art

Vinton. The name of the monument, High Ground, cam

from a Vietnam War veteran who said in battle, a soldie

always looks for the high ground. Likewise, visitors crosthe compass plaza to the octagonal pavilion will find thei

attention drawn ever upwards: up the broad steps, up the

rough rocks and terraced fountain, to the granite panels

scribed with the names of fallen soldiers and up again to

bronze American flag. Finally, the visitors attention will b

drawn to the inscription encircling the architectural-cast

concrete lintels overhead: HERE PAUSE AWHILE TO

BLESS THEIR SLEEP WHO FELL IN WAR TO SAV

OUR PEACE THEN GO RENEWED AND BUILD TH

LIVES THEY LOST FOR YOU IN GOD WE TRUST.
