Tradition of military service strong in The Cov, its government
COVINGTON, Ky. – Around Covington are a number of memorial sites, statues, and plaques honoring the commitment and sacrifice of military veterans of all branches who served this country in times of peace and war.
Whether it was taking a beach under mortar and machine-gun fire … enduring the never-ending horrors of a frigid mountainside or a humid jungle … walking a minefield … landing on a bobbing deck in a turbulent sea … living in a rat-infested trench … fighting panic in claustrophobic quarters as a submarine submerged and slid into the depths … or just enduring the mind- and body-numbing stress of endless training and physical tests, Covington’s sons and daughters have throughout history demonstrated courage galore.
Monday is Veterans Day.
