Town of Tonawanda Veterans Memorial

The Town of Tonawanda Veterans Memorial is a granite monument at Walter M. Kenney Park honoring local military service members. A large wall displays the names of those who served, arranged by military branch and organized to accommodate continued additions.

This memorial grew from community efforts to honor local service members across generations of military involvement. The site was expanded to accommodate more names, showing the town's ongoing commitment to recognition.

The names inscribed here represent community members who served across different military branches, connecting the town's past with its role in national service. Visitors come to honor and remember these contributions in a dedicated space.

The site sits within a park offering benches and walking paths for reflection and rest. The location is easy to reach and suitable for a quiet visit during daylight hours.

A retired military aircraft from the Korean War era is displayed on the grounds, representing naval aviation's role during that conflict. This physical artifact creates a direct link between the sky and the names on the memorial wall.
