Description of Memorial:
The Monument is made of Beautiful Polished Black Granite also Sitting on a Black Granite base. Found while heading south through Eads to visit family I saw the tarp covered monument and sign saying this (at the time) Unknown Monument would be unveiled and dedicated on Veterans Day. Since I would be returning through Eads I vowed to photograph and post this brand new Memorial.
