Waterford Veteran’s, “Path of Honor”

In 1997, the Town of Waterford
erected and dedicated a Veteran’s Memorial Green at the
intersection of Route 156 and Route 1 in Waterford, Connecticut.
This beautifully landscaped memorial is there to serve as a
dedication and acknowledgement to all of the men and women who
have served in the armed force of the United States.
In the summer of 2007, a group of Waterford Veteran’s and
members of the Waterford VFW Post 6573 met with the First
Selectman and proposed a new idea to enhance the memorial to add
to its beautification. The intention is to take the existing
bricks that provide a walk-way around the green and memorial and
have them engraved with the names of Waterford Veterans or those
who have a tie to the Town of Waterford through their respective
families. Thus the project has come to fruition and is honorably
entitled the “Path of Honor”.
Brick purchases will cover the cost of the brick and any excess
monies will be used solely for the continued enhancement of the
memorial site. Applications for a Veteran’s brick can be printed
out at this website or obtained at the Waterford VFW Post or at
Waterford Town Hall. Applications are subject to review and
approval by the Path of Honor Committee. After application
approval, the committee will submit a purchase order to have
your 4 x 8 inch brick fabricated and installed in the path. A
$50 per brick check or money order should accompany the each
application submission and both should be mailed or delivered
to:
