From Concept to Reality

The Legacy Project committee is comprised of both Veterans and Non-Veterans, and is a grassroots effort to create a respite in which all Veterans, their families, and the public can experience a place of welcome, camaraderie, remembrance, and even vindication. This will be a place of solitude, comfort, and peace that allows Veterans and their families to perhaps heal the invisible wounds of war.

The Capital Region Veteran’s Memorial is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and will be a landmark destination for this region. It will have memorials honoring all major conflicts including World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Monuments will include the names of all Capital Region Veterans who gave their lives while serving in these conflicts. The first of the monuments to be installed, is a memorial dedicated to all Vietnam Veterans and their families.

The Legacy Project will also include a Welcome Center and Veterans Cafe. The Cafe will be an integral part of the facility. It will have a Military Museum and is intended to be a place where Veterans, their families, and the public can relax, make friends, and obtain information.

Location: There is a six acre plot of land at the intersection of Dutch Meadows Lane and Rt 50 in Glenville. The park-like setting will include the Veterans Cafe’, Memorials, a pond, and a pavilion.
