Description of Memorial:
The flagpole with the swivel base is rather unique and calls your attention to it. Then as you look around, you see the light and you look at the street side of the stone cover, the plaque. It's also a good reason to walk around the lawn and grounds when you visit or have business at a Courthouse. It's then that you discover these interesting and often times moving memorials in small towns.
