Veterans Council still has space on Monument #28
The Lewiston-Auburn Veterans Council would like to remind the community that spaces are still available to have the name of a loved one inscribed on the next monument, #28, of Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston.
To be eligible, honorees must be from the State of Maine and must have served in a branch of the armed services, including the National Guard, Reserves or Merchant Marine. They may be living or deceased, on active duty or retired. A $35 engraving fee and a copy of the honoree’s Honorable Discharge, DD214, or any other document stating that they were in one of the armed services, must be included with the application. The unveiling of the monument is expected to take place on the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend.
Veterans Memorial Park is located by the Great Falls on Main Street in Lewiston. Among those honored on the park’s monuments are three Medal of Honor recipients and veterans of all major U.S. wars and conflicts, from the American Revolution to Afghanistan.
