Those were the dreaded words received from the government by the parents of eight of our local veterans.
Their names are engraved on the dedication stone at the center of the memorial.
THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY.
WE OWE THEM OUR PRAISE AND OUR PRAYERS.
The St. Elizabeth Veterans Memorial is dedicated to all the men and women of the community who have been in military service, with special recognition for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our country and our way of life.
Listed below are copies of documents and information that the families have shared with us that relate to some of these seven veterans and their untimely death.
