WESTFIELD – The Purple Heart Trail and Fountain Project has come to an end. Over thirty eight signs have been placed on Route 10 and 202 from Holyoke to the Southwick line.
Those who donated will be honored with a one of a kind decal and plaque that will be installed at Westfield City Hall, American Legion Whip City Memorial Post 454, American Legion Post 124, Marine Corps League and the Westfield Veteran’s Office.
