🇺🇸 WE DON'T KNOW THEM ALL, BUT WE OWE THEM ALL. 🇺🇸Today, Independence Township joins communities across our nation in honoring the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.To our veterans — past and present — thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and service. Your contributions will never be forgotten. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, we are reminded of the generations of Americans who have answered the call to serve & preserve our freedoms. That history is not just part of our nation's story; it is part of our community's story, too.At the dedication of Independence Township's new War Memorial Gazebo on September 26, 2026, Andrew Donovan, Director of the A.D. White Research Society and a generous project sponsor, shared historical reflections on our community's legacy of military service. In looking back over generations of local veterans, he noted that one word came to mind: "GRATITUDE." It is a fitting word as we honor those who have served and recognize the sacrifices made by generations of local families.Our War Memorial Gazebo, built over the existing War Memorial in the heart of our community, stands as a lasting tribute to those who served. Made possible through community generosity and in partnership with Bert C. Siders American Legion Post #643, it represents our respect, gratitude, and promise to never forget.We invite you to learn more about the War Memorial Gazebo and the veterans it honors. independence.patownship.org/?page_id=3313May we always remember those who served, honor those who continue to serve, and recognize the families who have sacrificed alongside them.We don't know them all, but we owe them all.❤️🤍💙 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
