Pettis County Veterans' Memorial - Sedalia, Mo. - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The Pettis County Veterans' Memorial appears to be an eternal flame that is no longer lit. The Memorial is constructed of three concrete columns that radiate from the gas pipe. The columns support the flame nozzle. An aluminum plaque has been engraved:

This Memorial to all Pettis Countians, living and dead, who served the Armed Forces of the United States of America.
Presented to the Pettis County Court and all Pettis Countians by the American Legion Post 16.

The entire Memorial rests on a concrete pad about 4 foot square. There is a metal American Legion Seal embedded in the pad in front of the Memorial.
