Klamath Union HS WWII Memorial - Klamath Falls, OR - World War II Memorials / Monuments on Waymarking.com

Visitors and students of Klamath Union High School might notice this small plaque that hangs on a wall in the front entrance to the school. It hangs opposite another war memorial plaque that memorializes former Klamath Union students killed in wars after WWII.

I was able to find a web link to the local Klamath County Museum website that has a page devoted to all local men who died in WWII and a quick bio of each (link provided below). These deceased men are also listed on a WWII memorial near the Klamath County Courthouse on Main Street.

This memorial plaque is a sobering reminder of the many young men who lost their lives in this one community of Klamath during World War II and one of thousands of communities across the nation that lost young men and women in their communities.
