It's been almost four years in the works and last week, work on the veterans' memorial in Williston's Heritage Park inched closer to reality.
Matthews Granite out of Elberton, Ga., sent its salesman, Jeremy Owens, to town last week to take measurements so fabricating the five granite slabs that will adhere to the concrete form will fit perfectly.
Owens told Ken Schwiebert that if all goes according to plan, the slabs and the bronze medallions designating the five branches of the Armed Forces will be in Williston and set mid-April.
