A focal point for those paying tribute to fallen heroes on Memorial Day weekend and Veterans Day each year, Veterans Park is located at the intersection of Woodmont and Norfolk Avenues in downtown Bethesda. The memorial commemorates Bethesda and Chevy Chase residents who were killed in action in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars. It is also a popular public space year-round for residents, visitors and workers.
Let's hope we never have to chisel another war on that blank space, but somehow I'm not optimistic about that.
