“The photo above is a rendering of the proposed Veterans Monument, help us build it! This monument will honor local veterans and preserves their legacy for future generations.”

We are raising funds to design, construct, and dedicate a lasting monument that honors local veterans from all branches of service. This memorial will be placed in Veterans Park and include a central monument, engraved marble wall with names and branches, surrounding landscaping, lighting, and a small plaza for ceremonies.

Why this matters:

Provides a public place for reflection, tribute, and community ceremonies (Veterans Day, Memorial Day).

Preserves the memory of local veterans for families and future generations.

Inspires civic pride and veteran recognition in our town.

How you can help:

Donate — every dollar brings us closer.

Share — please share this page on social media and with local groups.

Sponsor — businesses can become sponsor and their name will be engraved on a plaque at the Monument.

Organizers: American Legion Post 144, Miami Lakes (point of contact is Vice Commander W.G. Perez). We are working with the Veterans Committee of Miami Lakes and Town officials and we have secured site approval. Funds will be managed transparently and used only for the monument project.

Thank you for supporting our veterans.
