San Gabriel Veterans Memorial

The Veterans Coalition president said the group has worked over six years on this project, urged approval, and noted the memorial honors veterans from all conflicts and will help people appreciate their service.

A founding director of the coalition suggested adding an eternal light to honor fallen veterans.

A coalition member whose father and uncles were WWII veterans said the mission-style design fits the site, the memorial will make the city proud, and more names will come once people see it built.

The Veterans Coalition president thanked the architects for capturing what veterans wanted, especially given current events in the Middle East, and asked for continued open communication with the city and architects as the design moves forward.
