Request For Information For The Wicomico War Memorial

Veteran’s Memorial Committee looking for more information on those who served from our County

(Salisbury, MD) The Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Veteran’s War Memorial is searching for further information on the citizens who gave up their lives in service of their country. The memorial honors Wicomico Citizens who gave their lives during combat in service to the United States. Memorial committee member Ed Hearthway has been diligently collecting information on fallen service members and is looking to gather more information. If you have a family member or friend that you have information to share about, please email Ed at hearthwaye@aol.com.

The project has been made possible by the generous donations of area citizens, businesses and civic organizations. And, although the organizers are pleased with the support the project has received, ongoing support is needed to keep the project funded. Donations are being accepted at:

Wicomico War Veterans Memorial Fund

c/o John Terrell

500 Glen Avenue

Salisbury, Maryland 21804

For additional information in the ways that you can contribute, please call John Terrell at 410-548-4900. This year’s Memorial ceremony will be at 10:00AM on Saturday, May 31st in front of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Why isn't there any names of our veterans who fought for the union or confederacy during the War Between the States? That is one biased organization sponsored by the County government.

Due to the historical records available, the only complete and reliable information the Wicomico War Memorial Committee could find began with World War I.
