A memorial ceremony to re-dedicate a monument honoring a College Park hometown hero killed in Vietnam, MAJ Joseph A. Bishop '57, was held on Oct 25 at College Park City Hall. Originally located in 1997 at Woodward Academy (formerly Georgia Military Academy) where he attended prep school, the monument to his memory will now rest on the front lawn of City Hall. Members of the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association hosted the ceremony. Founded in 1981 to promote patriotism through sponsorship of activities in the business community, AVVBA has since dedicated 27 monuments throughout Metro Atlanta to honor fallen heroes. Read more.
