Mission Statement
The goal of the LMT Veterans Committee 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. We hope to create an opportunity to educate the children of our community about the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women via an interactive format.
VETERANS SQUARE MONUMENT
The LMT veterans committee is a volunteer group comprised of residents and veterans whose mission is to create a timeless monument to honor veterans of the past, present and future within a peaceful park setting where residents can gather with family, friends, and neighbors for public events, or to enjoy the park and monument on their own. Veterans Square is located on the corner of Edgewood and Heacock Roads. Our hope is to create a destination for residents to come reflect and relax, while also educating the children of our community about the sacrifices of our servicemen and women. We have a professional design team comprised of two architects, a landscape architect, and a sculptor who are donating their talents to design the monument. We are beginning an Engraving Campaign where residents and businesses will have the opportunity to purchase a brick or granite paver and be a part of the monument.

Also, the Veterans Committee looks forward to inviting contractors to bid on the monument project this spring. We are hoping area contractors and suppliers would be interested in donating time or materials toward our project. We would like to put together a list of suppliers who want to contribute and provide contractors with that information as part of the bidding process. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us at info@VeteransSquare.org.

Over three years, the Veterans Square Monument Committee has raised over $140,000 in total and we are hopeful we are close to our goal. We are seeking a contractor to work with us on the project.
If you know a veteran who lived in Yardley or Lower Makefield, he or she can have his/her name engraved at no charge on our Wall of Honor.
Please share this information with family, friends, and neighbors, and take part in your community – it’s a terrific place to live!
