Residents who can't visit Hillsborough County's Veterans Memorial Park in person can "walk the park" virtually with aerial videos of the memorials that range from the Seminole Wars through the War in Afghanistan. Displays at the park inspire reflection on the sacrifices of men and women who served the United States in times of conflict, and of their families and friends at home. Residents also can leave an online tribute to a Veteran in their life through the VA's Veterans Legacy Memorial.
