Description of Memorial:
Dark red Missouri Marble stone standing in front of flag pole next to the library main entrance sidewalk.
This trip into Illinois covered 3 counties (White, Saline, Gallatin). I have entered the Veterans memorial from Galatia in Saline county, will do the one from Carrier Mills (Unique). Several small town memorials are quite well done. Gallatin county offers Old Shawneetown, almost all gone from flood now, but it has steep history even General Lafayette visited there, as did Lew and Clark in the early period of the Expedition.
White county is steeped in Archeological sites, prehistoric man and many pleasant small towns. If you go there pick out a small in town cafe, eat breakfast or lunch and visit with the people, it will be rewarding.
Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Not listed
Date of dedication: Not listed
