West Chatham Veterans Memorial, Siler City, NC - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
Top notch Veterans Memorial, is a very pleasant surprise in this beautiful small southern town.

The following is quoted from a leaflet from this location:

The West Chatham Veterans Memorial is located at Siler City's Bray Park on South 2nd Avenue in Siler City. All veterans are eligible to be listed on the memorial. The memorial was established for and by veterans. This is a veterans' grass root effort to honor all veterans in Chatham County. Siler City graciously provided a perpetual site for the momument. The memorial depicts each branch of the military service along with the Great Seal of the United States. The layout of the momorial is by name, branch of service, war or conflict era.

The memorial will hold in excess of 800 names under it's present arrangement. It was designed to expand in years to come. Today the momorial reflects 612 names. ( end quotes )

This is one of the very best Veterans Memorials that I have ever seen. Congrats to those who made it happen.
