The sun shined bright on today’s dedication of Somerset Veterans Memorial Park.

First & Farmers National Bank was one of the first businesses in the community to pledge support for the project, committing to be the park’s title sponsor.

“First & Farmers would like to thank SPEDA for this opportunity to show both our respect and our gratitude to local veterans,” Pugh said. “We look forward to seeing this beautiful park used as a place to reflect on those who lost their lives in service to our country and a place to celebrate the freedoms that our military continues to protect.”

Congratulations to SPEDA, the City of Somerset, DECO Architects, Weddle Enterprises, and all other parties involved, on a job beautifully executed.
