Honoring All Veterans Memorial

Honoring All Veterans Memorial The HAVM honors US Military Veterans with granite tablets that bear the names of many veterans. The centerpiece is a bronze bust of Cpl. Charles "Chuck" W. Cpl.

Educational Purpose
The Honoring All Veterans Memorial recognizes the First Flag-Raising on Iwo Jima. Lindberg, longtime Richfield resident and last-living flag-raiser from both raisings. Lindberg, along with four other Marines, raised the first flag on February 23, 1945. The other Marines were Lt. Harold Schrier, Platoon Sgt. Ernest Thomas, Sgt. Hank Hansen and Pvt. Louis Charlo. Although we spot

light these individuals, we acknowledge members of all six branches of service: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Merchant Marines and Navy. A Place to Remember and Reflect
The memorial design enables visitors, alone or as a group, to view the surrounding granite tablets, engraved with veterans names. Visitors will want to revisit the Memorial over the years, watching it evolve and grow. This Memorial is a living memorial that will continue to grow as new names are added. Just as our military branches continue to live, so will this Veterans Memorial. We ask you to take the time to reflect on the veterans of the past, present and future. Become a part of the Honoring All Veterans Memorial in Richfield by having your name, or the Veteran of your choice, engraved on a granite memorial tablet. The names of all Veterans are welcome on the memorial, active or retired, wartime or peacetime, full service or reserves, deceased or living and regardless of residency. The only qualification for an engraving is an honorable discharge.

A wonderful turn out for today's ceremony. Thank you to all who came and all who helped make this event so successful.
