The Greene County Veterans Memorial Park in Waynesburg will be dedicated during a special program beginning at 2 p.m. Memorial Day.
The idea for the Memorial Park â which is located at 900 Rolling Meadows Road in Waynesburg between the tennis courts and Greene County Historical Society Museum â began to take shape after the Vietnam Veterans Traveling Memorial Wall was on prominent display at the county fairgrounds in the fall of 2017.
The committee that coordinated the event began brainstorming ideas about erecting a permanent memorial recognizing all veterans related to Greene County.
âThis Veterans Memorial Park is a direct result of the genuine patriotism of the people of Greene County,â said Connie Hart, a member of the committee formed to bring the Memorial Park to light. âWhen we brought in the Vietnam Veterans Traveling Memorial Wall, people showed up in droves to honor the men and women on the wall and all veterans.
