A Reimagined Tribute

In 2023, SUNY Niagara reaffirmed its commitment to Veteran Services by transforming the park. The standalone monument was relocated and expanded, creating a space that both honors the past and embraces the future. Officially unveiled on November 9, 2023, Veterans Memorial Park now stands as a living memorial, ensuring the sacrifices of Niagara County’s armed forces are never forgotten.
