War and Remembrance (9/15/25)

Bob and I visited Warbird Park today. It’s a small park on an old Air Force base behind Myrtle Beach International Airport that memorializes the contributions of local residents to the various wars in which the US has been involved. There is also a memorial to the victims of 9/11. It is a lovely little park near The Market Commons, where you can learn quite a bit about local war contributions, walk the lovely shaded paths, and/or watch planes leave from the airport.
