W 082515 EAGLE PARADE
Julia P. Bryant Elementary School teacher Tonya Deal, right, joins others as they take a closer look at the latest Eagle on Parade sculpture dedicated by East Georgia Medical Center and the American Cancer Society Tuesday. Deal, who is the school's Relay for Life captain, was taking a picture of the name of her nephew, Aaron Oliver, who was one of cancer victims commemorated on the sculpture, entitled "Hope."
The unveiling of the ninth eagle sculpture in the Eagle Nation on Parade took place Tuesday morning at the front entrance of East Georgia Regional Medical Center. “Our Eagle of Hope” joined the flock of eagles already scattered around the community and is a collaboration of the American Cancer Society, Georgia Southern University and East Georgia Regional. Kay Nay with the American Cancer Society said the sculpture stands “in memory of our loved ones that battled cancer that are no longer with us.”
