Veterans monuement fundraiser, Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pa.
Veterans Park, Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pa.
On December 19th, 2007, a committee was formed to work to bring a veterans monumement to Lower Makefield Township.
The monument would remember those with ties to our Township, that died in the name of freedom and liberty, and also serve as a place to
pay tribute to those who served.
On October 15th, 2008, the Lower Makefield Board of Supervisors unanimously approved designating the site of the farmer’s market as a veterans monument.
On November 9th, what was Pocket Park, was officially renamed, “Veterans Square”.
The mission for monument square, is to create a timeless monument to honor veterans while making Veterans Square an attractive park where residents can gather
with family, friends and neighbors, for both public and informal events. It is the hope of those involved with Veterans Square, that they can create an opportunity to
educate the children of our community about the sacrifices made by servicemen and women in a fun and interactive way.
On Friday, April 13th, Philies general manager, Ruben Amaro, Jr, who is a resident of Lower Makefield Township and the Phillile Phantic will appear at a fundraiser for the veterans monument, in
