Established in 2019, the U.S. Space Force is not yet represented at the Stubbs Park Veterans Memorial Plaza.
The Veterans Memorial was first dedicated at Leonard E. Stubbs Park on July 4, 1989, under the direction of the Centerville-Washington Veterans Memorial Committee. A brick plaza and monuments representing each of the U.S. military branches have been added through the years.
The city of Centerville is trying to raise approximately $43,000 to support the cost of the project. Centerville-Washington Foundation awarded Centerville a Community Support Grant to fund a portion of it.
