Construction on the Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park is poised to resume as temperatures rise, according to park committee Chairman Rob Turlip. Launched in 2016, this tribute aims to feature a striking black granite wall etched with the names and service details of nearly 500 veterans, alongside various statues and decommissioned military equipment.
The park will showcase a pavilion, bronze statues, and a range of military artifacts, including an M60 tank and an anti-aircraft gun.

Turlip expects significant progress by summer, creating a space that honors the sacrifices of U.S. service members.
