This touching memorial plaque and flagpole, dedicated to some brave and committed fallen Marines, graces the entrance of a city park. The park's namesake, Guy Stillman, was both a veteran, as well as a man who loved trains. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, therefore, is the perfect place to install a memorial to our brave veterans from the Korean Conflict.
The plaque reads as follows:
THIS FLAG POLE AND OUR COUNTRY'S COLORS
ARE DEDICATED TO THE MEN OF
USMCR COMPANY D 6TH ENGINEER BATTALION
WHO FELL DURING THE KOREAN CONFLICT
WHEN THE COMPANY WAS CALLED TO THE COLORS
AND TO THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED THEIR LABOR
