Residents are encouraged to submit the names of any such Veterans through an online survey or by visiting the Roberta Cerri Teglia Center at 601 Grand Ave or the Library | Parks & Recreation Center at 901 Civic Campus Way, where a paper form can be completed. All submissions will be vetted by Veterans Affairs, and eligible names may be included on new plaques at the redesigned memorial.
