Yorba Linda Veterans Memorial
A Nation’s Freedom is Enjoyed By All, But Paid For By Few.
Always Remember Those Who Gave Their Lives For Our Freedom
Yorba Linda Veterans Memorial is a unique memorial started by a promise from 1 woman, Sue Fenwick. Now, all three bronze plaques honoring Yorba Linda service members killed in action during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam were de-commissioned from their original home in front of the fire station and were re-dedicated in a new place of honor on a prominent wall within the Memorial.
The Yorba Linda Veterans Memorial is the first veterans memorial to establish a Gold Star Walkway in Orange County and the City of Yorba Linda, California, honoring those veterans who gave their lives starting on 9-11
Yorba Linda Veterans Memorial Association has added a brick to the Gold Star Walkway to honor those additional servicemen and women killed in action since the Memorial was dedicated. Sadly, the list of names has grown to 78 heroes, including 8 from Yorba Linda.
