Honoring Shoreham Veterans





On November 10, 2019 - one day before Veterans Day - The Shoreham Village Association held an event at the Shoreham Village Hall in honor of all the Veterans who lived in or were involved with Shoreham Village. A committee headed by Tom Spier, Mimi Oberdorf (Village Historian), Lee Frei and Joe Falco had worked very hard on this project and presented a beautiful plaque engraved with the names of 177 Veterans from the Civil War through World War II, up through the Vietnam War and also the Global War on Terror.

Veterans Pin, created for the Shoreham Village Veterans in honor of their service. It was worn at the ceremony to show who was a Veteran.



Art by Graham Marshall and Judy Buyar



Inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” in which the opening lines refer to poppies that were the first flowers to grow in the soil from soldiers’ graves in the Flanders region of Belgium, these small red flowers were adopted by the National American Legion as their official symbol of remembrance in 1920.
