Memorial construction may begin

LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett County officials are moving forward on building a memorial that has been nearly ten years in the making. <br> <br> The County Commission is expected to award bids for the Gwinnett Fallen Heroes Memorial, which will honor residents who died in the country&#39;s wars as well as public safety men and women who died in the line of duty. <br> <br> The county hosted a groundbreaking last Memorial Day outside the Justice and Administration Center, but no other dirt has been moved. <br> <br> If approved, construction could soon begin on the site and the engraved elements of the memorial could be installed. <br> <br> Retired firefighter Ron Buice and his wife Carolyn have spent five years raising money for the structure, which includes more than a dozen granite pillars.
