On Veterans Day Friday 11/11/11 we will be dedicating the rebuilt Mohawk Honor Roll War Memorial. The original Mohawk Honor Roll was dedicated on 11/18/1945 honoring 607 WW II Veterans men and women from the Mohawk Neighborhood. Over the decades the monument has been vandalized, become structurally unsafe and the names removed. The names are safely engraved on granite on the new monument. The... rededication ceremony and Military Memorial Service will start at 2:00. Bishop Binzer from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Bagpipes from the Hamilton County Sheriffs office, Chambers Hauptmann Budde Post Honor Guard, Military and political dignitaries in addition to surviving Mohawk Veterans with their families will be in attendance. All WW II Veterans, families of the Mohawk Veterans, military service organizations, and members of the Cincinnati community are invited. The memorial is located at the corner of Ravine Street and W. McMicken one block up the Ravine Street hill from Central Parkway. A reception will be held after the event at the Philippus Church of Christ on W. McMicken for those participating in the ceremony, honored WWII Veterans and invited guests. This is a project I have been working on for the last 5 years and were just about done!!!!
