On February 7, 2001, a group of citizens gathered around a table at a local restaurant to discuss building a veteran's park.  Before an hour had passed this group of about a dozen individual citizens made a commitment their vision, to build a veteran's park.

The next big step was a request to the County on March 6, 2001, for the use of land for the park.  The progress was such at this point that our architect had taken the committee's vision and developed it into the plan for this beautiful park.

From the beginning, community support in the form of contributions of dollars, materials, trade and professional services has been almost unprecedented.  This level of support has allowed the rapid progress in the building of the park.

The park has been built at less than 50% of cost in cash.  It is hard to determine the exact amount of contributions due to not having hard estimates of the value of some of the contributed materials and services.

The committed and diligent work of he committee with the support of the community has resulted in this park which is second to none.

To all who have supported the building of this park, the committee thanks you.  We thank you for the privilege of leading the community in the building of this beautiful park.

The committee hopes that you will join them in the pride the community has for this park and will take time to stroll the plaza from time to time enjoying the beauty and quiet time here among our heroes.
