Description of Memorial:
I had visited the Patoka Presbyterian Church cemetery earlier the same day that I was also in the Sand Hill cemetery and noticed both cemeteries had these non-specific war memorials. I wanted to honor the veterans and highlight the good work of VFW Post 1147 for donating both of these war memorials, so I recorded the information to make them waymarks.
