Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans of Menomonee Falls Area and Wisconsin
At Old Falls Village Park, we proudly honor the brave men and women from Wisconsin—and especially those from the Menomonee Falls area—who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This page is dedicated to recognizing the courage, sacrifice, and patriotism of our local veterans from all branches of service and all wars, past and present.
From the Revolutionary War to today’s modern military, countless individuals from our communities have answered the call to defend our country and protect our freedoms. Their service has shaped our nation’s history and strengthened the fabric of our hometown.
Whether they served on the front lines or supported the mission from home, we recognize the tremendous commitment each veteran has made. We invite you to explore their stories, reflect on their sacrifices, and join us in preserving their legacies for future generations.
This tribute is our way of saying: Thank you for your service. We will never forget.
If there is someone in your family whom you would like to recognize, please send an email to info@oldfallsvillagepark.com with their information. Once approved, we will ask for a photo.
