Welcome to our web site.  We are honoring all the Veterans in Lake-Sumter-Marion Counties and The Villages. Situated on Fountain Lake directly across from City Hall in downtown Leesburg, this granite memorial will be 60 feet in diameter and 7 feet high and cover 2800 square feet.  This will be one of the largest Veteran memorials in the Southeast.
ALL veterans who have served in the armed forces and received an Honorable, Medical or in some cases a General discharge can be on the wall. There is a engraving charge of $35.00 per name. New names will be added to the Memorial twice a year.  In addition there will be 10,500 bricks on the floor of the Memorial to honor any person you would like to honor.
