Bloomington Remembers Veterans

Bloomington Remembers Veterans has selected a beautiful site for the future Bloomington Veterans Memorial on the East lawn of Bloomington Civic Plaza, which acts as a central location for the community’s civic and cultural life. The memorial, designed by the accomplished firm, LEO A DALY, will honor and pay tribute to people who served in all branches of military service. It will be a place for remembrance, reflection and education as well as a site for larger events honoring people who served in the military. The memorial will recognize the courage and sacrifice of not only veterans themselves, but also the loved ones who supported them.

A key component of the memorial will be a series of symbolic dog tags carrying a veteran’s name, service branch and years of service. It will also contain a QR code accessing an online tribute page for a veteran and family to share their personal service experience first-hand through video and audio messages, photos and more. Dog tags can be purchased to recognize a veteran from any time of service including times of peace and war. A veteran being honored can be from Bloomington and beyond.
