Norwood Veteran’s Street Corner Memorials
Dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend us and our way of life. They gave their life! Think about it.
These memorials are scattered about Norwood in the neighborhoods where these individuals grew up. They are easy to pass by… and not notice. Next time… try to notice… the Name… realize that they probably walked out of one of the houses you are passing by… they were kids who grew up quickly. In most cases, they attended our schools and churches, and played in our playgrounds and hung out in their part of Norwood – enjoying life. Then one day, they left Norwood but never came back… to their Parents… Brothers and Sisters… Grandparents… Aunts and Uncles… and Friends.
So the next time you pass one of these Street Corner Memorials – just spend a moment and think… about these individuals… and those they did not come back to. And, let’s remember them.
Special Thanks to Ted Mulvehill – Norwood’s Director of Veteran Services
