We Can Do More On Veterans Day, 11 November 2006, the Germantown Area Veterans Memorial became a reality. On that day, the Memorial was dedicated when the first of many names of area veterans was added to its Walls of Honor. Since then, more names have been added, now having honored over 400 individuals. In February of 2009, the Veterans Memorial Web Site became a reality. The web site has two objectives: first, to identify where on the Walls of Honor a name can be located, and second, to have the name to become a "living" person. Some identified on the Walls of Honor served over a century ago. For quite a few, it has been over 50 years. Many who look at these names, do not know who these individuals are, other than they served in a branch of service such as the Spanish American War, the Civil War, World War I or later. But who were these individuals? The Germantown Area Veterans Memorial Internet site identifies each Honoree and with the help of the community, will provide their picture along with background information on who these individuals were. While the Walls of Honor identify the Honoree's name, branch of service and period served, the web site will support this and provide background information. The site will have the name to become a "living" person. Those honored will become more than just a name, they will become neighbors, friends, and family. For those who have submitted a name, or possibly a family member, we ask that you contact the Memorial Committee and the Committee will provide a form where information about the individual can be recorded. You will be asked if a period portrait photo could be shared. When browsing the Veterans Memorial's web site, you will see a picture makes a world of difference. A name is just a name, but a picture, and you meet the person. And the person's image will live on, today, tomorrow, and 50 years from tomorrow. The Memorial Committee would welcome donations to help to reduce the sites construction debt. Hopefully, you can help in both these matters.
