Park Dedication for Fallen Soldier
I'd like to invite everyone to a very special event -
My little town is rededicating the park where my son grew up playing as the "PFC Andrew Meari Memorial Park" in an official ceremony on July 11, 2015 at 11:00am.
The park is currently known as Mayfair Park in Plainfield, Illinois.
My hope is other towns and communities are inspired to rename and dedicate parks or playgrounds for the Fallen from their communities. There is no more appropriate memorial to my mind.
If you are able to come, please find me and introduce yourself. I'll be the one bursting with pride and gratitude, with tissues in hand.
