Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial
The Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial is a memorial in Irvine, California to American troops that lost their lives in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Afghanistan-Iraq War Memorials - A Waymarking.com Category )〕 The names on the memorial come from US DoD casualty records for Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn. Located at Northwood Community Park, on the corner of Yale and Bryan in Northwood, Irvine, California, it is the only known memorial in the United States dedicated to listing by name all American service men and women killed in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Local community members assembled annually from 2003 through 2010 to erect a temporary memorial in the park, hold public ceremonies on Memorial Day, July 5, September 11, Veterans Day and conduct nightly candlelight vigils throughout each June and early July. A permanent memorial was built as a joint community and city project in the same location as the temporary memorial as part of the community park.〔http://www.northwoodmemorial.com〕 It was dedicated in a ceremony on November 14, 2010.
==History==
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq, after hearing of the deaths of about thirty soldiers, Asher Milgrom, a local resident of Irvine, created the first display in the park. The original memorial consisted of thirty wooden posts bearing the names and photos of the fallen. Since 2003, community residents have come together to maintain the temporary memorial on the same site each year from Memorial Day until shortly after Independence Day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Makeshift memorial soon will be permanent )〕〔http://www.allvoices.com/news/4734611/s/43506144-commissioners-back-military-memorial-at-irvine-park〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celebration marks end of temporary military memorial )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Informal War Memorial Loses Its Final Battle With City Hall )〕
Also involved was Andy Zelinko, a retired resident who frequently makes suggestions to the city council.〔http://www.ci.irvine.ca.us/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=3619〕〔http://cityofirvine.net/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=11644〕〔https://www.cityofirvine.org/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=8515〕
