Warren Veterans Memorial Fund Committee
Dennis E. Champine, City of Warren
The Veterans Memorial Fund Committee, consisting of all military veterans, began building the "All Veterans Memorial" in 2004. The men and women worked tirelessly to raise more than $140,000 to create a lasting memorial to the memory of all the men and women who had served in the Armed Forces. The entire project was funded by donations and many fund raisers including park bench and brick paver sponsorships. These sponsorships are still being purchased and a local business has recently committed to maintaining the lovely landscaping in the park area.
