BROCKWAY, JEFFERSON COUNTY - For eight years the men and women of the Brockway Legion had been creating their Memorial Park in front of the Legion.
The latest edition to the park is the "Wall of Honor" that serves as a salute to all men and women who have served.
A total of 396 bricks with the names of veterans from all wars will decorate and create the wall. Each brick has a story, like that of a WWII veteran that was killed, but his body was never recovered or those stories of the many Vietnam Vets that were never thanked for their service and those stories of the families who feel serving their country runs in their blood.
On November 3, at 11:00am the wall will be dedicated. Until then it will be covered. Anyone is invited to attend the event
