At 4 pm on Thursday, October 30, 2014, Mayor Randall Hutto emceed the dedication ceremony for the new Veteran’s Plaza located at the side of the Wilson County Court House, in Lebanon. Bag pipes played “Amazing Grace”, followed by Lt. General John Pickler saying a few words of dedication and praying over the event. General Pickler is the highest ranking officer in Wilson County.

Post 281’s honor guard was present as well as Commander Pat Unger and several members of the Mt. Juliet American Legion Post. Several other dignitaries were in attendance, as well as  about 200 + people and veterans. American Legion Post 15 from Lebanon, and the Vietnam Veterans Post were also in attendance.

In the center of the star shaped pool, the American Flag was raised, and around it 5 monuments to the 5 branches of our military along with their flags were raised in dedication for the event. The national anthem preceded the flag raising. Mayor Hutto thanked everyone who had a part in contributing funds and services to the construction of this plaza. Wilson Bank and Trust  contributed $25,000. The county commissioners contributed $600,000 towards the building of this plaza. Mayor Hutto mentioned that “our veterans carried us on their shoulders.”

There were 10 flags in all, and the last 4 were another American flag, a Tennessee flag, and two POW/MIA flags, “lest we forget.”

“Post 281 voted unanimously to not only get involved but to support our own American Legion Baseball (junior and senior) teams, the Tyler Cates Mt. Juliet Riverdogs,” Unger said. “The post membership got behind this program and have wholeheartedly supported the young players who have been given an opportunity to play one of America’s favorite past times.”
