Discover MoreThe Somers Veterans & Families Legacy Park is being created as a lasting place of honor, remembrance, reflection, and community — recognizing the service and sacrifice of veterans and military families across generations. Turning that vision into reality will take the support of an entire community.
The Community Founders Circle recognizes the first 100 qualifying supporters whose early financial or in-kind contributions help move the Legacy Park from vision to reality. Once all 100 Community Founder positions have been filled, the Community Founders Circle will close. Those original 100 will remain part of the permanent history of the Legacy Park.
