Garden of Remembrance

A Garden of Remembrance is also located in a section of the Letterkenny Town Park.  It opened in honour of the memory of members of the Gardaí and Army who have given their lives in service of the United Nations. A stone bench was unveiled in the park on 10 July 2007 to honour James Duffy (VC), a British soldier during the First World War, and an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy.
