Veteran Falls Memorial


The builder for the Veteran Falls Memorial under construction on Hwy. 51 west of Granbury recently gave a program that updated the progress of this unique memorial. Having traveled down Hwy. 51 west of Granbury several times and viewing the progress, is first appears that there has not been much work done. But that is definitely not the case. The majority of the work is in fact completed and the project is nearing the final stages.


The problem is that the project has slowed because they have currently run out of funds. According to the program presenter who is doing the work they need about $39,000 dollars to complete the project.


Below is additional information concerning the project, with contact information and they have a website, http://www.veteranfalls.com/, with information.

This area will become a public park on completion, and will become a great access to the community.


They are currently raising funds through donations, selling t-shirts, stickers and other fundraising activities to try and finish this project this fall. They would certainly appreciate any help completing this project.

GHS Graduates Come Together

Well it's a sad time for some of our past graduates of GHS. They have had another tragic abrupt passing of one their own. A much loved young man Lorenzo Mercado Jr. had his life ended in an accident just a little over a week ago. But I am here to rejoice in the fact that he was a christian and is now with the Lord. I am also proud to say that his fellow classmates came together and honored his memory and gave much support to Lorenzo's family. If you know of the circumstances you know here was another young man who was involved in the horrible accident. This is where I am so very proud of our graduates, our children. They have reached out to offer love and compassion to Taylor. He needs unconditional love right now and I know that God will bless all who show it. May the Lord's comfort and peace be with Lorenzo's family and all who knew and loved him. And may all of us learn something from Lorenzo's family who also have shown much forgiveness and compassion through this very difficult time.
