This event will officially dedicate “Phase II” - a nearly $90,000 addition to the current veteran’s memorial paid for entirely by public donations. Its completion will stand as a year-round tribute to veterans interred at sea and allow for more dignified services involving floral tributes. The program will include the Elgin Choral Union and be followed by a reception at the Meadows Community Room of the library.
