This multi-war veterans memorial contains memorial plaques from different eras and all combined here in a quiet setting within Etna Cemetery. There's a small plaque monumented on a low-lying boulder dedicated to three individuals from WWII and it reads:
TO OUR HEROIC DEAD OF
WORLD WAR II
RAYMOND C MARX
ROBERT W JACOBI
BERNARD C TUCKERIN MEMORY OF THEIR SUPREME SACRIFICE
FOR THE PEACE OF THE WORLD
REMEMBER THEM AND FOLLOW AFTER
THE THINGS THAT LEAD TO PEACE
THESE TREES ARE DEDICATED BY
THE ETNA WOMAN'S CLUB
MAY 2, 1947
This plaque and boulder appear to have been relocated to this memorial so I am to assume the dedicated trees are non-extant.
Monumented in the center granite slab of seven slabs dedicated in 2006 is a World War I plaque that reads:
PRESENTED BY THE CLASS OF 1917
AS A MEMORIAL
TO THE ALUMNI AND FORMER
STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED
IN THE WORLD WAR,
AND DEDICATED
TO PEACE AND NATIONAL SERVICE.
(names of veterans)
This plaque also looks to have been relocated here from somewhere else, possible the Etna High School?
Six granite slabs contain the names of Scott Valley veterans from various wars as part of a re-dedication in 2006.
