According to Gene Roberts, a Brookfield Historical Society member, “Each year we pay tribute to Brookfield’s fallen military heroes but little is known about who they actually are. Through the efforts of the Historical Society we have been able to identify 44 former Brookfield residents who gave their lives in defense of our nation. This memorial exhibit provides our community the opportunity to gain a more intimate understanding of the courageous servicemen we honor. It not only contains the names of the fallen, but also background information, where available, on both their civilian and military lives as well as poignant images and photographs. It is a moving tribute to these men who have made so grave a sacrifice for our community and our nation.”
