The American Legion posting on this memorial. I assume they had something to do with it, yet, nothing at the site confirms they participation.

This Memorial sits just off the parking lot for the village services. The building in background of photo is village hall, police station and several other services of this small village.

Marble sign announces the Memorial. A concrete pad hold a marble bench and three flag poles, and two strips of bricks with the names of sponsors as well as service men. Standing between two small pine trees in front of a white box rail fence are the statues of a Korean War airman, soldier and sailor. Statues stand on marble base and the statues themselves seem to be made of plaster.
