Honoring Lilburn's Fallen Heroes

Remember our veterans on Memorial Day.

Editor's Note: Lilburn Patch initially published this feature last Memorial Day weekend. We thought it would be a good idea to update it.

Every cross has a name.

The approximately 70 crosses that line Lilburn's entry way from Lawrenceville Highway, and a stretch of Main Street in Old Town, memorialize many area veterans who are no longer with us.

Every year, Lilburn, like hundreds of towns nationwide, plants crosses draped with American flags. The crosses bear the names of those who paid the ultimate price for freedom.

In building this feature, Lilburn Patch stopped to read every name and snap a picture.
