History Never Stops

The Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association first was proposed in 2013 as a way to recognize and pay tribute to fallen armed forces members from Delaware County.

“We pray that we may live

Not by our Fears, but by our Hopes.

Not by our Words, but by our Deeds.

May God Bless You All

May God Bless America”

— Claude de Botton

LEST WE FORGET

A solemn reminder that the sacrifices of our veterans must never fade from memory. It is a call to honor those who have served, those who have fallen, and those who continue to defend our freedom. At the Delaware County Veterans Memorial, we stand in unwavering gratitude, preserving their legacy so that future generations understand the true cost of liberty.

The Memorial

The Delaware Country Veterans Memorial is an open-air living legacy honoring the military service of all Veterans for past, present, and future sacrifices.

Visitors to the Delaware County Veterans Memorial are awe struck as they walk amongst pavers honoring loved ones and supporting our troops through personalized messages. A stop at each of the nine 18ft granite columns, supporting the words “Lest We Forget,” is a lesson on the American Wars and Conflicts from the War of 1812 to the Wars of the Middle East. Quotes from Presidents, Generals and active-duty service men and women bring to life first-hand accounts of war and personal experiences as you read their words of war that are engraved in each column.

VISION STATEMENT

The Delaware County Veterans Memorial is to be an ever-evolving, living historical monument, that grows in tandem with American history and serves as a space for community education and remembrance.
