Gulf War Memorial Bench

This artistic and very original memorial can be found on town owned land that was renovated into a small park known as Mulberry Park. It was dedicated in 2007 and stands at the corner of Mulberry and Elm Streets.
The park contains a unique memorial dedicated to the Gulf War Veterans in the form of two benches. They are inscribed with metal plates bearing the names of the Gulf war vets from Windsor Locks.
The back rest of each bench bears an image of the American flag. The iron frames on the sides of the bench are decorated with the US Shield of an American Eagle.
The tribute was planned and installed by Girl Scout Troop 589 as part of a Gold Award Project that also included landscaping and plantings.
It’s a simple and beautiful tribute. Well done girls !!
