Members of the Green County Veterans Memorial Park Project (GCVMPP) committee held a helicopter dedication ceremony Sunday, Nov. 6. A Huey helicopter that saw combat has been restored and will soon be mounted and placed on permanent display at the park, located just outside of Monroe at the intersection of County Highway N and State Highway 81.
