Blue Star Memorial A tribute to the Armed Forces
Oakwood, GA
The Blue Star Memorial began in 1945 as a living tribute of dogwoods for World War II service members and grew into a national salute to every branch of the armed forces. In Oakwood, the Gateway Garden Club of the Laurel District and the Gainesville Garden Club Council worked with the Garden Club of Georgia and the state Department of Transportation to place this marker. Its blue star borrows the emblem of the wartime service flag.
Aviation Tragedy
Gwinnett County, GA
On the evening of December 6, 1953, four F-84 jets of the Georgia Air National Guard's 128th Fighter Bomber Squadron went down near this spot while returning from weekend training and trying to land at Dobbins Air Force Base in bad weather. All the pilots were killed, though no one on the ground was hurt — the family whose home was destroyed happened to be away. Investigators traced the disaster in part to confusion reading the aircraft altimeter, prompting the U.S. Air Force to redesign the instrument.
Battle of Taliwa
Ball Ground, GA
About 1755, near the confluence of Long-Swamp Creek and the Etowah River, the great Cherokee war-chief Oconostota led some 500 warriors to a decisive victory over a larger Creek force in the Battle of Taliwa. The defeat was so complete that the Creeks withdrew south of the Chattahoochee River, ceding to the Cherokee the region that would later become the heart of the Cherokee Nation.
