2009 Memorial Setup

Friends and Neighbors:

For the 7th year since 2003 the Northwood Memorial (Gratitude & Honor) was set up one week before Memorial Day & taken down one week after Independence Day.

During this time many joined us to honor our fallen military members each evening at 7:15 pm when we lit a candle for each memorial, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, played taps and took time to reflect on the honor and gratitude we have for these heroes.

Each night, several fallen service members were rembered by reading a short overview of their history.  In addition, several poems were read which were written by visitors to the memorial and the fallen themselves.  CLICK HERE to view those writings.

The Northwood Memorial is located at the Northwood Community Park at the corner of in Yale and Bryan in Irvine. For more information contact northwoodmemorial@yahoo.com
