Honoring all veterans: Post 85, Woonsocket, Rhode Island

85 - Woonsocket , RI

Work and eventual dedication, delayed several times due to COVID, occurred in October 2021. This was an addition to a memorial dedicated in November 2018 in honor of World War I veterans. This was to coincide with 100 years since the end of that war. During the construction of the second part of the monument, the basic infrastructure was also laid for the future sections: Korea, Vietnam and Middle East/future wars. The Korean section is planned for 2022 as of now, with the remaining two sections tentatively planned for 2023/24.
