Charters of Freedom
At our Dec. 7, 2015 meeting the board of commissioners received a presentation from representatives of Foundation Forward, Inc. on the possibility of bringing Charters of Freedom monuments to Brunswick County.

On Dec. 7 the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to begin moving forward with the process of bringing Charters of Freedom monuments to Brunswick County. When the process begins, the foundation will begin raising private funds to pay for the cost of constructing the monuments.
I am excited about the prospect of bringing Charters of Freedom monuments to our county, and based on the discussion at our Dec. 7 board meeting I believe this sentiment is unanimous on our board. Once installed, the monuments will serve both as an educational tool for our county’s youth and a symbolic reminder of the great freedom we enjoy as Americans.
