The Veterans Honor Roll of Troy Township was established on August 21, 2017, as a way to honor local Troy Township veterans and former Troy Township Trustee Donald D. Walden.

Walden proudly served in the United States Navy from January 18, 1952, until December 21, 1955, when he was honorably discharged. He was a local champion of veterans' causes and served for over 35 years as a Troy Township trustee until his death May 20, 2017.

Don was posthumously recognized as the inaugural inductee into the Veterans Honor Roll of Troy Township. This is Troy Township's small way of making sure that Don's legacy and his never ending support of our local veterans lives on.
