Vets Memorial, Two tales one story! Bloomfield, NE

     When Joe Skrivan, a Navy veteran, decided he wanted a place in his hometown of  Bloomfield, Ne, to honor all veterans who have served, he set his ideas in stone. Literally, in granite.
​     The black, granite walls- with the names of approximately 1,450 veterans from the Bloomfield district etched in them- would be emplaced in a circular pattern, waiting for the walls to be erected. The stone walls would encompass the statue that faces them, that of a kneeling soldier. This was the vision in his mind’s eye.
