PROVIDENCE – Veterans and their family members attended a public ceremony today to view the War Memorial at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center before it is put in storage to protect it during renovations at the center. The memorial is an honor roll of Providence veterans who died in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, as well as Rhode Island Medal of Honor recipients. The actual memorial will remain outside the Dunkin’ Donuts Center until Sunday, July 9, when construction is scheduled to begin in that area. The Rhode Island Convention Center Authority is also creating a “virtual memorial” on its Web site that will include photos and the honor roll of veterans so the public can continue to see the honor roll while the memorial itself is in storage. According to the Convention Center Authority, the organization is working with the city’s planning department to relocate the war memorial in a prominent location near its current site after the renovations.
