Veterans' Walk
Former Board member Chuck Macaluso presented the Veterans'
Walk concept to Chapter 20's Board of Directors in early 2000 to
honor all veterans for their service to our country. The
location of the paver stone walkway is from the parking lot at
1440 South Avenue to the entrance of the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Highland Park. After receiving approval from the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial of Greater Rochester, the Parks
Department, and the Monroe County Legislature the project was
started in June 2004.
Dedication of the Veterans' Walk was held on Saturday August
14, 2004. Anyone purchasing a "brick" is required to provide
proof of the veteran's service. Current military personnel are
also eligible to be recognized for their service. Accepted items
are a Discharge Certificate, Separation Form, DD214, VA Card,
SF- 180, pictures of service person in uniform, military ID
card, or verification by an accredited Veteran's Service
Representative.
Applications for the paver bricks can be
downloaded from this website. Completed forms with a check or
money order in the amount of $50.00 should be sent to P.O. Box
12580, Rochester, NY 14612.
