Drawing of War Memorial

The WWII Memorial was erected and dedicated in 1947 to honor all local war veterans who served in that war.  In 1999, a joint effort between Amvets Post 9 and the Town of Middletown led to the restoration of the plaques and refurbishment of the grounds of that memorial.  In 2012, seven flag poles were added to recognize the 5 armed forces, POW-MIA and the U.S. flag. 

In 2013 Amvets Post 9 and the Town of Middletown erected additional memorials on the site to honor our war veterans of all wars and conflicts in the post WWII era.  These monuments listing the Wars: Korea, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as, the names of those who served in each, are installed on site near the existing WWII Memorial.   Those veterans who were killed in action have been identified for their ultimate sacrifice.  The Memorial grounds have been updated to reflect the pride and reverence we have for our local veterans.
