HONOR
* EDUCATE *
CELEBRATE
Mission Statement:
Our goal is
to create a timeless monument to honor veterans while making Veterans Square an
attractive park where residents can gather with family, friends, and neighbors
for both public and informal events. We hope to create an opportunity to
educate the children of our community about the sacrifices made by our
servicemen and women in a fun, interactive manner.
Our design
will consider the concepts of veterans, community, education, and the
environment. A professional design team comprised of
an architect, landscape architect, an architect who specializes in historic
preservation, and a sculptor are donating their talents for this project.
You're Invited to search
for our "Eagles on Parade" around town at various locations!
Email us with your guess of the 12 locations
where the eagles are on display for a chance to win prizes at our First Annual
Labor Day Evening Concert, Ground-breaking and Auction!
Our sculptor, Robert Girandola, who is making a life-size bronze eagle to grace
the top of Veterans Square Monument, has made 12 small scale replicas that will
be painted by various Artists of Yardley in any whimsical way they wish – like
the mules in Doylestown, but these are much smaller - 10” by 10” by 11”. They
will be on display at various businesses and public locations from the end of
June until Labor Day, and then they will be auctioned off during intermission on
Labor Day.
SNEAK PEAK AT 6 OF THE 12 EAGLES - DO ANY
LOOK FAMILIAR - MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN ONE OR MORE AROUND TOWN?!?
Win a Chance to Own a Gorgeous Collectible Solid Bronze
Replica of the Eagle for only $10!
Purchase several tickets for what will surely be a wonderful conversation piece
and collectible art to hold onto for generations. Tickets are available by email
and at all our events where we are present: including the LMT Farmers Market on
Thursdays and the Tuesday Cruise Nights at Shady Brook. The
winner will be drawn when the monument is dedicated!
