As we approach the unveiling of the Compton Community Veterans MemorialĀ on November 2, 2024, excitement is building, and the project is progressing beautifully! Our team and community partners have been hard at work, and now weā€™re calling on local businesses and organizations to join us in making this memorial truly special. The Veterans Memorial project aims to unite the Compton community to create a meaningful and lasting tribute to our veterans.

Partners Making It Possible

This project wouldnā€™t be where it is today without the incredible support of our partners:

  • Army veteran April Villanueva, whose inspiring community altar concept has shaped the design of the memorial.

  • Local artists and residents, who have been involved in every step of the design and installation process.
