The project will be completed in time for Veterans Day on November 11, 2019 and commemorated with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The new memorial will pay tribute to our military veterans for their service. It will incorporate engraved commemorative tile pavers as a lasting remembrance ofthe ones who have selflessly served our country.
