VINDY MONUMENTS TOUR

For Veterans Day 2012, The Vindicator worked to create a comprehensive list of soldiers monuments in the Mahoning Valley. The completed list — www.vindy.com/news/2012/nov/13/soldiers-monuments-valley/ — outlines more than 30 local sites that honor service men and women of every major American conflict.

Our Soldiers Monument Tour Facebook page www.facebook.com/vindicator.warmonumentstour maps and provides photos of many of the monument sites and shares photos from local Veterans and Memorial Day celebrations.

For Veterans Day 2013 and beyond, take time to participate in our living tribute to Mahoning Valley war heroes.

Aware of a site honoring soldiers that isn’t on our list? Send information and photos, and we’ll add the monument to our collection.

Visit the monuments with your family and send us pictures of the trip. Photos from local Veterans Day ceremonies also will be welcomed.

Email sfoor@vindy.com or visit the Monuments Tour Facebook page to participate.
