If you have ever come across a Westwood street sign with a person's name near or atop of it, you have sighted one of the town's sixteen Veterans' Memorial Squares.  At various street intersections around Westwood and other towns, plaques are erected to indicate their dedication to the memory of a person, perhaps most often veterans.  

This Memorial Day Weekend, finding Westwood's Veteran Memorial Squares can be an activity to help take pause and remember our fallen heroes. You may not have noticed them before, but once you find them, you will always see them, says Michelle Miller of Westwood's Memorial Day Committee.
