Fallen Soldiers Memorial
The
Fallen Soldiers Memorial located in Shiloh Memorial Park was created thanks to
the hard work of Hogan Maestri. He is a high school student in Springdale who
is working to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. In order to meet that requirement,
he had to plan, lead, and complete a service project that benefits the
community.
He has been raising money to construct a monument to honor all Springdale
veterans who lost their lives serving our country from World War One to the
present. The idea for this project came from his love of history and desire to
honor our military heroes. He has raised money thanks to the help of local
businesses, civic organizations, and private citizens.
Below are the details of the 56 servicemen who are honored in this
memorial. This monument will stand as a permanent symbol of the gratitude
our city feels for the sacrifice of these fallen heroes.
