In 2009 the Veterans’ Memorial was inspired by Robert McKean, Stanley Park’s Managing Director at the time and Bob Voel, Sr.. The Memorial was dedicated on September 26, 2010. The Veterans’ Memorial honors all Veterans’ who are with us today or deceased and have served this great country. There is a large boulder decorated with the logo of each branch of the United States. They are the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and the Merchant Marines are also represented. Along the walkway of the Memorial are honor bricks engraved with the veterans’ name, branch of service, and rank. It is a beautiful way to remember and to celebrate our Veterans’. On September 2, 2015, a Perpetual Light was donated by the Westfield Gas & Electric Company. Friends of the park, Russell and Darlene Klaubert donated to upkeep the light. Now the American Flag will wave over the Veteran’s Memorial both day and night.

We continue to add Honor Bricks. Anyone can honor a Veteran, from anywhere in the country, by purchasing an honor brick. The funds from the sale of these tributes goes to the perpetual care of this memorial. For more information, please visit the Support Stanley Park page.
