Recently Alliance, Nebraska developed a new Nebraska Veterans Memorial. The memorial is a cemetary grounds for veterans who have served time in the military. I was able to see this brand new cemetary a few weeks ago when I was out in Alliance and it is absolutary beautiful!

My dad’s side of the family grew up in Alliance and I still have plenty of family living there. My family had a bench made and dedicated to my grandma’s brother Edward Collins who served time, died in a war and is buried in the Phillipines. I have several family members of mine who have served, especially my grandpa. I am so proud of them and everyone else in this country who does serve their time.

The cemetary is still brand new so there is not a lot there, but it will be exciting to see everything that will be adding to the cemetary in the future. If you are ever up by Alliance be sure to stop and pay respects to our state’s veterans as a thanks for serving our country and protecting our freedoms.
