With approval from the
Danbury Council of Veterans,
the Veterans Walkway of Honor was established in 2012 and is a permanent
commemorative walkway lined with bricks engraved with the names of honored men
and women who have served our great country.
Who is
eligible to be honored? Anyone who has served honorably in the armed forces or
is currently on active duty or any veteran organization.
Bricks
may be engraved with the name, rank and service branch of family, friends and
loved ones who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces. Bricks may be
in honor of those who are still living, missing in action, on active duty or in
memory of those who are deceased. Stock logos are also available for
engraving.
“As a combat veteran, I am honored to co-sponsor the Veterans Walkway of Honor and give our heroes the recognition they deserve,” said Danny Hayes, Director of Veterans Affairs in Danbury.
Former Mayor Mark Boughton said, "The Veterans Walkway of Honor is a unique addition to the memorials in Rogers Park. As future generations travel the special path, they will be reminded of those who have served our country, and who have fought for our freedoms; hopefully bringing a sense of American pride to each visitor."
