Enfield Veterans Monument

The Enfield Town Green is a bonanza for those that appreciate Veterans monuments. There are three in pretty close proximity of each other.
The newest monument was dedicated in 2012 and it honors the broad spectrum of vets from all branches of the service. It isn’t dedicated to those of any specific war, so it really honors all vets across the centuries of American history.
It’s a gorgeous monument made of high-​gloss reflective black granite. It consists of eight columns of variable heights that form a sweeping arc.
The six middle columns honor a different branch of the armed forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Each panel carries the respective etched logo and motto for the branch it represents. The two end columns contain these inscriptions.
Left Column: «This space is dedicated to the veterans of our community who served the nation in time of danger.»
Right column: «Some are with us still — Many have gone on ahead — Often they responded to a whisper from within — Others rallied to the call — All gave some — Some gave all.»
It’s an absolutely beautiful monument.
