The wall was dedicated in November 2020.

"Five years ago, I was having coffee with Jack Lawver, who was the council chairman at the time," Falsetto recalled. "He mentioned that we didn't have an honor roll in town. I didn't realize I was going to be elected as chairman of the committee," said Denny Falsetto.

"It was something that I felt pretty strongly about, that I thought needed to be done," Falsetto said.

Brownsville used to have an honor roll, but it was previously torn down.
