The Honoring All Veterans Memorial is a monument to honor Americans who have served their country in the United States Military. The Memorial is located in Veterans Memorial Park, 6400 Portland Avenue, Richfield, MN. Features of the HAVM include
-A lighted bronze status of Charles Lindberg, longtime Richfield resident and one of the first flag-raisers at Iwo Jima in World War II
-Granite tables that display the names of veterans, the branch of service, and recognition of those who were prisoners of war, killed in action, or missing in action
-Six columns that each represent a different branch of the US Military, which curve towards the center flag and feature each branch's insignia. Between two sets of these columns are glass prisms that shine colorful sunlight on the Memorial at sunrise and sundown
The Honoring All Veterans Memorial is funded by the sale of the engraved veterans' names on the monument ($400 each). Construction was funded by a loan from the City of Richfield to the Honoring All Veterans Memorial, Inc.
Your contributions will help HAVM pay this loan back to the City of Richfield and will raise money for events, like their annual Memorial Day ceremony.
