Old Monroe Cemetery Veterans Memorial - Monroe, Iowa - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

This brick and marble memorial is located in the Monroe Cemetery. The Memorial consists of a brick frame holding two large slabs of marble. Front and back, the only inscription reads:

IN MEMORY OF ALL SERVICE PEOPLE

There is a listing, completely filling the front and half of the back, of names, I assume, of people from Monroe, who have served in the military. On the front of the memorial is mounted an old rifle - I think an M1 Girand.
