Ongoing Projects
Los Angeles National Veterans Park
The Park is in the development stage in compliance with the legal requirements set forth by Federal rulings, Veterans Administration Policies and Guidelines established by the General Services Administration as shown in detail on the opening page of this website.
LOS ANGELES NATIONAL VETERANS PARK DESIGN MISSION
"To honor veterans past and present, deepening respect for those who allow us to live in freedom".
"To heal veterans in an environment of serenity and camaraderie."
"To unite all through celebrating the spirit of patriotism."
"To educate the generations with a lasting understanding of the American Veteran."
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Creating a 16-acre park honoring the history of veterans requires us to talk to citizens with knowledge of American history and our veterans' roles in war and peace. A series of Focus Groups with historians is in progress.
We are also conducting interviews with Doctors from the West Los Angeles VAMC and the community for guidance in designing the optimum environment to promote restorative healing.
Focus Groups with veterans are giving us sharper insights in how they wish to be understood and remembered as an important part of American life.
We are proud of the 800 citizens who have written letters to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Nicholson supporting the creation of a new park honoring veterans.
