John Connors’ friends, fellow soldiers, and loved ones have proposed that the Town of Scituate locate a Memorial Statute within our community. The proposed location is on Lawson Common.  The committee is presenting their vision and recommendations for public review at this forum. This is your chance to learn about the proposal and ask questions. The Scituate Select Board has already approved the acceptance of the Statute in the community; now the location is being reviewed.  The Veteran’s Advisory Council has also approved both the proposal and the site recommendation. The Select Board has the organizers to obtain required public input. This is the purpose of the forum. Please come!

This is the information from the website linked below:

Honoring a Navy Officer’s Life and Service

The desire to design, erect, and dedicate a statue of John Connors is deeply rooted in our goal to honor the warrior that he was and the person he embodied. As a team, we seek to commemorate John’s life and service in a public setting on display for generations to come. John Connors was a Scholar, Athlete, and Warrior, a true humble Hero.

Nationally prominent Artist Chas Fagan of Charlotte, NC has been selected to create an original piece of sculpture to depict LTJG John Connors USN. From photos and printed material, he has created a concept that we believe best embodies the wishes of the Connors family and our committee. Sketches and concept drawings have brought us to a point where we now have a proposed rendering of the larger-than-life-size statue we intend to produce. It is our intention to unveil this statue with the Connors family, the Navy SEAL community, and all of those whose lives he continues to touch.
