Capital Region Veterans Memorial Fundraising to Develop Veterans Café, Visitor Center, Museum

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.

GLENVILLE — Efforts are continuing to create a Capital Region Veterans Memorial in a new 6.5 acre Legacy Park at Dutch Meadows Lane and North Ballston Road in Glenville.

The Capital Region Veterans Memorial board of directors is trying to raise $1 million or more to build a 4,000 square foot building to house a Veterans Café, visitor welcome center, museum, and computer technological services.  The Legacy Park will have an amphitheater and a serene walkway with Military monuments, according to Mary Brandt, board president.

Monuments for World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and Expeditionaries will commemorate fallen troops from Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington counties.

The completed project will honor deceased Veterans while honoring and also serving living Veterans. To date the group has raised nearly $100,000.

For more information about the organization, and how to donate, go online to: capitalregionveteransmemorial.org.
