Field of Honor
It started with Mike Gonzales recognizing fallen soldier Major Brent Taylor's name painted on a rock at Veterans Oasis Park. And now it's a project the veterans of Hunter Contracting Co. will never forget.
The Field of Honor monument honors the sacrifices of our veterans, so we wanted to recognize the veterans who worked on this memorable project. Listen to their stories and the special ties they have to this memorial.
