Date of dedication: Original 1950; Revision 1990.

Who Put it Here?: Original: American Legion Post #101, VFW Post #2745 & County Commissioners.; Revision: La-Kee-Mon Garden Club.

Description of Memorial:
The original memorial was between two houses on a city block. Each house sits on the corner and the entire middle was a park. Green and lush. In the center was a sidewalk a leading to a marble Memorial Wall. The wall was dedicated to the two World Wars, in 1950.

The revision was the addition of brick along side the sidewalk (containing names of those who contributed to the construction and upkeep) with a marble plaque in each brick walkway edging to commemorate those who died from the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
