A New Park has been set up in Macedonia, Ohio Honoring Veterans

For the past 2 years my American Legion Nordonia Hills Post 801 with the help of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6768 and the city of Macedonia has worked on establishing a Veterans Memorial Park dedicated to honor all veterans. It has now completed the first phase of the Park. The AL Post Commander and Chairperson of the committee established to create this park first created a team of motivated veterans. The team raised about 40% of the estimated $364,000 required to construct the entire park. These funds allowed us to design and build the park’s main entrance starting in May 2017. Construction was completed on September 15, 2017, POW/MIA Recognition Day. The next day, September 16, the first part of this projected was dedicated.

There were three monuments displaced, this is the Main One to all veterans.

The other two are one for the War on Terror and one for Vietnam

We had a band and many local politicians as well as three Former Green Berets as speakers. Colonel David Taylor (center), Lt Colonel Howard Pearce (Right) and myself (Left).
