PEACE GARDEN
In partnership with the Town of Greenburgh, New York, and the Greenburgh Public Library, the Foundation designed and constructed a pocket-size garden that publicly honors the contributions of the over 2 million women who have sacrificed to keep our nation safe.  It is a place that all community members can enjoy - finding peace while reading, meditating, or just sitting among the beautiful plants!

The Foundation hopes this Peace Garden will be used to encourage other communities throughout the United States to use some of their public space to honor their women veterans.
