University Park Veterans
Honoring All Who Serve
University Park remembers and honors almost 200 residents who have served our country over the last 80+ years. We have established a Veterans Memorial Park at the intersections of Wells Parkway, Clagett Road and Eversfield Drive and is dedicated to honor all who served.
Veterans Day Observance
- Date: November 11, 2023
- Time: 11 a.m.
- Location: Veterans Memorial Park (at the intersections of Wells Parkway, Clagett Road and Eversfield Drive)
The Town welcomes you to attend a celebration in honor of our Veterans at the Veterans Memorial Park. This year's event will have speakers, and a bag-piper. If you would like to support the event as a speaker or a volunteer in any capacity, please contact Mayor Joel Biermann at mayorbiermann@upmd.org.
Veterans Census List
In recent years, town volunteers have worked together to build and maintain a census of University Park residents who served in the armed forces of the United States. Our thanks to Joann Fletcher who largely built the census list and to Phineas Baugher who continues to keep the list updated.
If you know a University Park veteran or someone who is currently serving in the military who isn't listed below, please complete the University Park Veterans Census Form to be added to the list or to make corrections. Submissions will be emailed to the Town Clerk.
Remembering Their Service
We encourage you to read the names of people from our community who have served or are currently serving our country. We honor our veterans best by remembering their service.
Note, names appear alphabetically with military branch information. A * denotes a veteran who is deceased.
