As we observe Veteran’s Day, we give thanks for our veterans who have served in uniform for the sake of our nation and our freedom. Today we are especially proud to share that the construction of our new Veterans Park is close to completion.
The centerpiece of this park will be the feature wall displaying plaques honoring veterans. The Town is now selling inscribed plaques that pay tribute to our veterans for their commitment, service, and sacrifices to our country. You can purchase a plaque for a veteran of any of the six branches of the United States military who has retired, been honorably discharged, or died while in service to the United States.
At a cost of $200, these plaques are an affordable way to give a veteran permanent recognition at the park. Net proceeds from the plaques will be donated to the local VFW.
We do ask that documentation is provided to verify service in the United States military. Any of these documents are acceptable:
- Copies of old military service documents
- Copies of military awards or decorations
- Newspaper clippings
- Old military records from your previous base, unit, or other organization
- DD Form 214
If you are interested in purchasing a plaque for a loved one, visit us at the Bridgewater Community Center at 201 Green Street. The form, documentation review, and payment can be completed at BCC. Our staff will then contact you when your plaque has been installed on the wall.
