The American Legion Post 330 in New Haven has teamed up with New Haven's Park and Recreation District to renovate the veterans' memorial at Schnelker Park.

 

The Legion and other veterans' groups are working hard to raise money. Veterans say it is important to update the memorial not only for the older generations of veterans but for the younger generation coming home from Iraq. Changes include a walkway with bricks bearing the names of veterans and flags to represent each branch of the military.

 

So far the Legion has raised 1700$. The total cost for the new memorial is estimated at 10K$ to 12K$. Bricks are available for 30$ or 100$ and the names of donors and/or veterans will go on the bricks. Click on the link for an order form to purchase a brick.
