Forrest
L Vosler Veterans Memorial Park
Located
at the corner of Big Tree Street and Main Street in the Village of
Livonia (across from West's Shurfine), Vosler park is a small "pocket
park" in honor Livonia native and Congressional Medal of Honor
recipient Forrest "Woody" L Vosler and all the men and women who have
served or are serving our country. This quiet setting offers people a
place to site and recall the sacrifices that our armed forces have
made.
Woody
was raised on Linden Street in the Village of Livonia and graduated
from Livonia High School in 1941. He enlisted in the Army Air Corp and
as a result of his heroism, as part of a B-17 crew, was awarded the
Medal of Honor.
The
park was created by the Village through the contributions of hundreds
of individuals and organizations. Flowers, commemorative pavers and
park benches encirlce the memorial and provide a place to rest and
reflect.
For
information on how you can purchase a paver or make
a memorial contribution, please contact the Village office at 585-346-3100.
