By jtsherkHS 401, Spring 2016, NC Association of Physicians Assistants Veterans Garden, Durham, NC. Memorial gardens pay tribute to fallen heroes, provide a place of remembrance for friends and families, and reflect the place and the people who developed them. Students worked with NC Association of Physicians Assistants stakeholders (mostly veterans) to develop and integrate the existing gardens and the adjacent area that contains a statue by artist, John Prazen, a Korean War veteran and Navy corpsman (USS Sperry).
