It will be located in the St. George section of St. John Vianney Cemetery. We are starting to plan a dedication ceremony sometime around the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in June. Please help us to contact any WWII veterans and families who could attend the dedication ceremony with a possible reception to follow.
