An abandoned piece of land in Cedaredge is about to be transformed into a Veteran’s Monuments Park by the Support Our Soldiers Foundation.

The foundation, founded by Cathy Meskel, secured the property at 100 SE Buffalo Ave. as the permanent home for the park, where it will display 13 marble monuments honoring the service and sacrifice of American veterans, including the courageous women of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The monuments had been at Pioneer Town in Cedaredge, but they will be moved to a space built just for them.

“This land represents more than just a place; it represents purpose,” Meskel said. “My veterans deserve this, and this will be a place of honor for them to come and reflect.”
