Mohawk Honor Roll 2024
On this Monument, originally Dedicated 11/11/1945, are the names of 608 Men and Women all from this Mohawk Neighborhood. They represent Our Greatest Generation who served Their Country on active duty in WWII. In Europe, in Africa, in Asia and in the Pacific, they fought the Battles: Battle of the Bulge, El-Alamin, Iwo Jima, Midway and hundreds more to Preserve America’s Freedom, DEFEATING the Axis Powers.
All but 10 of Our Mohawk Heros came home to their families, those TEN gave their lives for All Americans. Many of our Heroes were teenagers who might have lied about their ages, volunteered to join the fight!
June 6, 2024 is the 80th Anniversary of D-DAY a day when American lost 5,720 lives on day 1, landing on the beaches of Normandy. We can Celebrate their Victories because they “Answered the Call” going abroad to fight those Battles against the enemies of Freedom. They prevailed enduring unimaginable hardships to Win a War and Liberate Occupied Countries, Cities, Villages, Death Camps, Islands, Prison Camps, (We know of One Mohawk Veteran who was among those POWS).
We cannot begin to show a measure of appreciation worthy of their sacrifices. Humbly we Honor Our Mohawk Heroes Annually on Veterans Day November 11th at this Site at 2:00 P.M. We invite everyone, especially veterans, to join us in our Veterans Day Memorial Service. In past years, we have been honored to welcome Living Mohawk Honorees and their Families to Celebrate with us.
If you cannot join our Service, please find a Veterans Day Service near you to Honor All Veterans, living and deceased, to Honor their sacrifices for your Protection and Freedom. Make it an Annual Tradition for your Family.
Our Mohawk Family
