The city of Helen is to be commended for creating a magnificent Veterans Park which honors past, present and future men and women of America’s armed forces and memorializes White County’s highest decorated soldier, Pvt. Rondall H. Glaze. Pvt. Glaze was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest award for valor, for his extraordinary acts of heroism during World War II.
