In August of 2002, a committee of Township staff, Veterans in the community and the Township Engineer began meeting to establish a Veteran's Memorial Monument in East Norriton Township. After several committee meetings, it was recommended and ultimately approved by the Board of Supervisors to establish such a memorial in the grassy triangle along Germantown Pike which is owned by the Township. In September 2003, the Committee held a ground breaking ceremony at the site of the memorial. Shortly after that, a Fund Raising Committee was formed to generate funding for the construction of the memorial. The Fund Raising Committee raised over $160,000.00 for the Monument's construction and maintenance costs. Dedication of the monument was held on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2004. The following members of the two committees should be recognized for their efforts:
