War Memorial groundbreaking set for May 8

Posted

SPRING VALLEY – American Legion Post 227 will be holding a short groundbreaking ceremony for the new veterans’ war memorial at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 8.

It has been a number of years now since the original Veterans War Memorial was removed as part of the nursing home demolition. We have begun working to build a new memorial in tribute to those from the Spring Valley area who gave their lives in conflict while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

We are building this outdoor memorial with accessibility in mind. We hope that anyone wishing to may come to read names of the fallen and take a moment to honor their memory.

The location for this monument is just west of the original location and next door to Spring Valley Dentistry near Park Drive and World War I Veterans Memorial Highway (Highway 29). We are asking for the public to come out, join us and be part of this groundbreaking. We will be available to try and answer your questions about the memorial.
