MACON - A small park in Macon will be dedicated to an Army major who grew up there and was killed when terrorists flew a jetliner into the Pentagon on September eleventh. <br> <br> The Macon City Council unanimously approved a resolution yesterday to dedicate a memorial garden in the park on Overlook Avenue in memory of Army Major Cole Hogan. <br> <br> The resolution paves the way for a neighborhood group to erect a stone memorial and engraved bronze plaque on the triangle-shaped property near the home of Hogan&#39;s parents. <br> <br> A longtime friend of Hogan&#39;s father, Wallace, Macon Councilman Dick Dickey said,``It&#39;s a patriotic thing to do. He died a hero&#39;s death, and I think he ought to be honored.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Cole Hogan, who was 40 years old, was at his desk at the Pentagon when the hijacked jetliner struck the building. His wife, Pat Hogan, is a medical doctor at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington.
