The goal of this project is to preserve the memory of these heroes and not let
their stories be lost to history.  Their sacrifices should be honored and their
histories should be available to school children and adults to learn about the
heroic Verona residents who came before them.
It is vital that friends and
family of these heroes be found, so that they may share pictures, service
records, and other information to add to these stories. If you are a
family member or friend of one of these heroes, or you know someone
who is or may have additional information, please contact:
