Memorial for Waukesha parade victims to open in November [Video]

PRESIDENT ON THE 12 NEWS MOBILE APP. CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY FOR A MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE VICTIMS OF THE WAUKESHA PARADE TRAGEDY. SIX PEOPLE DIED WHEN A MILWAUKEE MAN DROVE HIS CAR INTO THE PARADE ROUTE BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2021. CREWS ARE BUSY BUILDING THE MEMORIAL IN GREEDY PARK. IT WILL FEATURE INTERLOCKED HEARTS IN THE MIDDLE, SURROUNDED BY SIX TREES AND SIX BENCHES, ONE FOR EACH OF THE VICTIMS KILLED. THE BACK WALL TILES WILL BE MADE BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THIS WILL BE A MEMORIAL THAT PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO REFLECT ON, TO HONOR THOSE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES, TO HONOR THOSE THAT WERE INJURED, AND ALSO TO HAVE A MEASURE OF HEALING. I THINK THAT’S WHAT’S VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS. THE MEMORIAL WILL BE FORMALLY DEDICATED NOVEMBER 21ST.
