VETERANS MEMORIAL BUILDINGS

They came home wanting to join together, honor their lost compatriots, and support one another.  And so it was that Veterans Memorial Halls were erected. 

The gratuitous construction by the Legislature of Veterans Memorial Buildings is for the use of organizations of those who have shown themselves willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the maintenance of the government and who serve in military humanitarian operations outside of the theater of war. These humanitarian missions are equally heroic efforts to deliver medical care, emergency relief, search and rescue, and much more.

Veterans Memorial Buildings are also sanctuaries to help veterans heal, to help them socialize, share camaraderie, and most of all,  never forget their efforts to serve our country.

Over the years and decades, in addition to accommodating veterans’ activities, the buildings serve as a cultural center for the entire community, hosting many different types of events and activities, such as dances, parties,  concerts, swap meets, flea markets, farmers markets, fundraisers, and charitable and youth activities, and so much more. 

Ultimately it was the wars of our country that brought people to these buildings for the underlying all activities was a community’s unyielding desire to support those who sacrificed so much.
