"What better way to honor America's Veterans and to preserve the memory of a loved one who served bravely for our country," said Lee Teicholz, who spearheaded the fundraising campaign.

Former Mayor Mark Boughton said, "The Veterans Walkway of Honor is a unique addition to the memorials in Rogers Park. As future generations travel the special path, they will be reminded of those who have served our country, and who have fought for our freedoms; hopefully bringing a sense of American pride to each visitor."

"As a combat veteran, I am honored to co-sponsor the Veterans Walkway of Honor and give our heroes the recognition that they deserve," said Danny Hayes, Director of Veterans Affairs in Danbury.

We also invite you to email us a photo and a short biography of the honoree. The photos and biographies will be used to create their own web page on the Veterans Walkway of Honor website.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to be part of a permanent display to those who served our country.
