Description of Memorial:
While visiting Alturas, I saw the tall flag pole and flag stand out on Main Street and wanted to see it close up. Upon arriving near the flag pole base I noticed the brick memorial wall with markers and plaque. I visited this location in late Fall, and I would assume in the spring and summer months there are flowers growing in front of the memorial. I was a little surprised that this memorial is located next to a bank and not somewhere a little more prominent.
Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Not listed
