Flagpole Dedication

In 1996 the Charlotte Detachment #756, Marine Corps League purchased and installed a large flagpole in what was then Laishley Park.  This portion of the park was subsequently named "Veterans Park" in 2017.  In 2019 there was a major renovation to the park and the large flagpole had to be moved to near the gazebo.  The  had been on a brick pedestal by the flagpole.  


On March 13, 2023, the bronze plaque dedicated to all  Veterans of Charlotte County,  was re-installed by the Marine Corp League.  It had been missing and now located.  It sits at the entrance of the gazebo where it is mounted on a stand for ease of viewing.





Hurricane Ian Damage to Military Flags

On September 28,  2022, the  winds were too strong for  our flags in Veterans Park to survive.  There were 6 flags in the Ceremonial Plaza of the park, denoting each of the branches of service.  They were totally shredded and  the remains were twisted in the pole mechanisms.  Thanks to the Military  Officers Association of America (MOAA)  for getting the City to use their new bucket truck to cut the fabric and free the mechanisms.  Poles were able to be saved. We can proudly say that the project is now completed with all  new flags, donated by MOAA and flanked by  memorial benches.
