On Tuesday, April 4, the Beat took a tour of the newest additions to the Forgotten Veterans Memorial Park next to Bataan Park.

A new building, which the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 358 will use for meetings and maintenance of equipment, was erected in February of this year, the wiring was installed in March, and now in April, the bathrooms were to be plumbed that day and the office completed soon.

While the veterans were waiting to receive the money, which had been appropriated in 2015, they built a flowing fountain and stream.
