Community Settlement Asks for Photos of Eastside Veterans

As part of a refurbishment and expansion of a WWII Veterans’ Wall inside Riverside’s Community Settlement Association, photos of U.S. veterans are being sought of those who grew up on the Eastside. Executive Director Barbara Hanna said, “We are proud to have a wall of honor for WWII veterans who grew up on Riverside’s Eastside. But it needs some love and care as it has deteriorated over time. We thought while we do that that we could add photos of men and women who grew up on the East side who served in Korea, Vietnam and more recent wars and conflicts. We appreciate that Margie Quieroz is taking the lead on the renovation.” Photos may also be dropped off at Settlement with the name of the veteran, their service and the years served. Community Settlement has served Riverside’s Eastside since 1911. Its address is 4366 Bermuda, just off 14th Street, but its parking lot is adjacent to the Dario Vasquez Park on Sedgwick Street. Funds would also be appreciated to ensure that the final product is worthy of the veterans’ service to our country. Anyone or any organization that would like to help is encouraged to contact Barbara Hanna at 951-686-6266, ext 118 or bhanna@csariverside.com.
