var str = 'This veterans park along the main thoroughfare through Florence Texas honors all veterans of Texas wars of the 20th century. A series of monuments honor each separate war and are arranged in a circle around a flagpole. The outside of the monuments are comprised of natural stone and the granite inner portions are carved into pointed “V”s. The inside portions contain the inscribed names of all those from the area who served. On the sides of the World War II monument are also inscribed names from the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. On the base of the flagpole are inscribed the names of local men who gave their lives in these wars. ';

var str = 'The small but beautiful Florence cemetery began as a burial site for the deceased Union P.O.W.s who had perished at the Florence prison stockade during the American Civil War. Two burial sites totaling more than 2700 remains had originally existed near each other and were condensed into this single site. The bodies were placed into 16 trenches which were originally marked with simple wooden markers stating “Unknown.” In 1955 these were replaced with just marble headstones at the end of each of the trenches indicating the burial sites of unknown soldiers. The cemetery also contains the burial site of a Medal of Honor recipient and the unusual story of Florena Budwin who dressed as a Union soldier in an attempt to find her husband but was captured and imprisoned at Florence before she died.';
