Veterans’ Names on Our Wall of Honor
We will continue to take names of veterans who lived in Lower Makefield or Yardley at any time in his/her life to be engraved on our bronze Wall of Honor at no charge. Proof of being a veteran and residency required. Visit www.VeteransSquare.org to apply.
Veterans Square Monument
UPDATE: Engraved Freedom Pavers can still be purchased. Names of Veterans who lived in LMT or Yardley can be submitted for the next Wall of Honor Plaque using the following email address: info@VeteransSquare.org or calling the Township at 267-274-1100.
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.
Honor – Celebrate – Educate
