BEAUREGARD, Ala. (AP) — A new memorial in Beauregard remembers the nearly two dozen people killed when a deadly tornado swept through the east Alabama county last year.
WSFA reports that the names and images of the 23 victims are etched into main layer of the stone monument. The second layer is dedicated to the first responders and volunteers. At the top is a cross and the saying, Beauregard Strong, an expression that the community used to rally together as they rebuilt from the storm.
The monument was constructed at Providence Baptist Church.
