This is a silver magnetic nano hid with permission in a park
honoring 1800 local veterans by name engraved on nine granite
tablets. Please be respectful and thankful for the service of the
nation's veterans.
The Veteran's Honor Park is the site of Hartford's moving annual
Veterans Day parade and program. An annual Memorial Day Program is
also held there, and the patriotic Hartford folk turn out in force
wearing red, white, and blue. These programs are outstanding, and
everyone should check them out! It gives everyone a chance to show
their respect and appreciation to Veterans and their
families.
They began with 5 tablets and just dedicated the 9th tablet at the
Memorial Day Program May 29, 2011. This is an ongoing project, so
they are always accepting names of Veterans for the park. They want
their name, branch of service, and war fought. Currently 1800 names
are listed on the 9 tablets. The white crosses on the hill at the
back represent one for each person on the tablets that was Killed
in Action.
When you are here, be sure to also find another ArkGeocache one
block away in Alexander Park.
