Pay Homage to a Veteran in La Verne

La Verne officials remind residents that pavers, for the city’s Veterans Memorial, purchased by Oct. 15 will be part of a planned Nov. 15 dedication ceremony.

Orders can be placed at the Community Services counter at the La Verne City Hall at 3660 D Street or online at La Verne’s Memorial website.

“The vision for the La Verne Veterans Memorial is to create a venue of respect, honor, and esteem for those fellow citizens of our community who have served and will serve in our nation’s armed forces,” memorial organizers wrote. “We envision a place where veterans could connect with one another, where their families and friends could pay tribute, and where each generation of the community could learn about the efforts and sacrifices of those who came before them and those who would follow.”

The memorial will feature an obelisk with the names of men and women from La Verne who gave their lives in service to their country, organizers said. It will also feature flags representing each branch of the military, park benches, and landscaping features, officials said.

For more information, organizers ask you call Community Services at (909) 596-8700.
