Veteran’s Names Will Be Continually Added to Wall of Honor Project

By: Sharon Aron Baron

With over 600 names currently displayed on the recently unveiled Wall of Honor, the Tamarac Historical Society said they are still looking for more names to be included on an additional panel.

That glass work created by artist Zachary Knudson, the monument encircles the existing eternal flame sculpture at Veteran’s Park and is illuminated at night. 

According to Historical Society Vice President Joel Davidson at last week’s commission meeting, “It’s not a project that has been completed – it’s an ongoing project.”

Davidson said they already have 30 additional names for a seventh panel, and are looking for more. The criteria to be included is: the Veteran’s name, branch of service, rank at discharge and the number of years that they served.  The Veteran can be either alive or deceased.

Davidson said he hopes to have panel seven up for this next Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day of 2017.
