Penfield Veteran's Memorial in Penfield Town Hall Park.

This is a non specific memorial dedicated to veterans of Penfield that have died in numerous wars. While it is non specific, there is a partial list of wars listed on the back of the plaque dating back to the Civil War.

You can't help but notice the memorial, yet I have never seen anybody stop while in the area to read about the people who gave their lives.
Type of Memorial: Multi-War Memorial

Wars mentioned (Multi-war only):
Civil War WWI WWII Vietnam War Iraq War


In Honor Of: All past, present and future veterans of the armed forces of the United States of America

Marker Text:
They died so that we may live free.


Date of dedication: 2005

Who Put it Here?: Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 820 and Braman American Legion, Post 1229

Description of Memorial:
It is a very peaceful area, with a circle made of blocks with the plaque off center in the middle. It is small and probably overlooked by many, as the town park is used for soccer, baseball, and concerts. The memorial is placed in the center of a grassy area just next to a shelter. There is plenty of parking nearby, with a few steps from parking to get to the memorial.
