The Cherry County Veterans Memorial Committee (CCVMC) would like to invite the public to witness the official dedication of the Korean and Vietnam Memorials on Monday November 11, 2024, at 9AM in Veterans Memorial Park on Main Street in Valentine.
The committee has been working on this project since August 18, 2016. The committee realizes this is a special day for all veterans and many of you will be attending programs in your schools, community clubs and others, but they felt that they needed to get this program finalized after more than eight years. There were many unexpected challenges.
The CCVMC members are Donald Nelsen, Jim Edwars, Bob Stetter, John Ravenscroft, Bill Marshall, Dick Jeffers and Larry Johnson (deceased).
Through the years these folks have offered their time and commitment at least once a month, and as many as five to six times a month, to make decisions on this project.
There are no special speakers lined up at this time, but some committee members will make remarks.
The committee has been humbled by the generous giving of the entire county and area and expressed that they are proud of their fellow men and women veterans and thank them for their service to our country.
The committee would hope that you spend a few minutes thanking the veterans in your family and community for their service. That dedication will be Monday, November 11th at 9AM.
