Mt. Zion- A new war memorial was dedicated Monday in the Mount Zion Veteran's Park.

The dedication ceremony featured a wreath-laying, a gun salute and the playing of taps by the Macon County Honor Guard. The new memorial is the brain-child of Vietnam veteran Robert Dondeville, who has worked for six years to get it built.

The new memorial contains one pillar for each of the wars America fought in the 20th century and the current conflict in the Middle East, and it is dedicated to the soldiers who served in them.
