Decatur City Veterans' Memorial - Decatur City, Ia. - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

In the northeast corner of a very quiet City Park in a quiet little town is this simple monument honoring Veterans. The background is a smooth-faced light grey marble with rough-hewn edges. Attached to this marble slab are two bronze markers and the holes where a third marker was. The top location is empty - it probably honored the dead of Korea.

The central marker reads:

This Monument erected
to honor and commemorate
the veterans of all wars
who answered their Country's
call in time of need.
