🇺🇸 Honoring Service. Preserving Legacy. Building Together. 🇺🇸

The Greenhills Veterans Memorial & Honor Path is a multi-phase build and community fundraising initiative to create a permanent, meaningful space honoring all the men and women who have served the United States of America—ALL who have served our Nation are welcome.

From our founding, veterans have helped shape the Village of Greenhills from its earliest days playing vital roles as residents, leaders, volunteers, and stewards of community life. Their generosity has supported youth athletics, scouting programs, scholarships, and public safety services. This memorial stands as a lasting expression of gratitude—celebrating service to our country and the continued love and commitment veterans and their families show toward Greenhills.

The completed memorial will feature the United States and POW/MIA flags, the six military branch flags, an engraved clay paver Honor Path, curved bench for reflection, and thoughtfully designed lighting and landscaping. Construction will occur in four intentional phases, each launched through its own fundraising campaign and concluded with a public dedication ceremony—allowing the community to see progress, celebrate milestones, and take pride in what we are building together.

Phase 1 – United States & POW/MIA Flagpole

Lays the groundwork for the memorial and raises the United States and POW/MIA flag—establishing a powerful, visible symbol of honor, service, and gratitude at the heart of the site.

Phase 2 – Foundation, Honor Path and Curved Bench & Gathering Space

Creates a welcoming place for reflection, remembrance, and connection, offering visitors a quiet space to pause and honor those who served. The Honor Path provides the Village, neighboring communities and beyond the opportunity to participate directly by honoring veterans through engraved pavers, creating a lasting path of names and shared pride.

Once the initial installation of engraved pavers has been completed, additional pavers can be purchased through out the years and will be placed in single installation each year.

Phase 3 – Military Service Branch Flags

Recognizes the unique service of each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, standing together as a unified tribute to all who answered the call.

Phase 4 – Spit & Polish (Memorial Completion)

Brings the memorial to completion with thoughtful lighting and landscaping, culminating in a final dedication that celebrates a finished space of honor, reflection, and community pride.
