During World War II, from 1940 to 1945, over 650 sons and daughters of Ukrainian immigrants who were parishioners of St. Nicholas Church served in the armed forces of the United States of America. The Walter J. Sawkiw Memorial Walkway, dated 1947–2001 and dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 2023, honors his outstanding efforts in the Ukrainian American community, including the acquisition of this memorial walkway, and recognizes his commitment to making this memorial as worthy of respect and protection for generations to come under the ideals of God, Country, Honor, and Duty.
