GREAT JOB!!
I THINK ALL THAT WAS APART OF THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE VERY PROUD.
Fantastic job and a fitting memorial to all who served in wars and armed conflict. Thanks to all. Marg Hancock Gander
A absolute fantastic job from all that were involved in the restructuring of this beautiful ground to honor our war vets and for those who gave up their lives for our freedom.

Most certainly Gerard ! The people involved in this project, including yourself , deserve all the praise we can give them !!.. It is indeed a tremendous "legacy" they have created for the Town of Gander and all it's residents !! :)
This is so wonderful and what a beautiful park. Gander is so deserving of this. Everyone must be so proud.

Gardie please do that.
would the walkways in this park be 'like' the crossroads of the world landing strips?

Great job. A lot of dedication and hard work for the committee. Your dedication to this project is truly amazing. It is absolutely beautiful. Didn't realize the walk was the shape of a runway until I saw the picture. Great pictures Carol Walsh. Hope to see a good turnout on the 23rd.

As one of the first children of Gander, I am very proud of the job the Committee has done on the Legacy Project. Two of my grand daughters live in Gander and I know that they will be pleased with the job. Hope to get out for the unveiling of Sgt. Gander statue. Congratulations on a job well done.
This is amazing & hope to get home to see it one day. This makes me homesick for the Rock. Congratulations to all involved with making this a reality for all to enjoy & I'm sure it will be emotional for some as they stroll through it.
