Project to be finished by Veterans Day
The U.S., Colorado and MIA/POW flags fly at the new Veterans Memorial at the Pine River Cemetery. A two-dimensional sculpture of a helicopter also is part of the memorial.
American Legion members Joe Martinez, Tony Schrier, Harold Johnson and Joe Pielech are almost done with the Veterans Memorial in the Pine River Cemetery. Work on the project started in 2016 and will be completed by Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
In September, American Legion post members finished placing the granite and tops on the new Veterans Memorial at the Pine River Cemetery.
About 25 paving bricks are left to be placed on the sides of the memorial. Donors to the local project have their names or businesses on the pavers, and inscriptions for the final four pieces are available for a donation.
The memorial will be finished by Veterans Day on Saturday, Nov. 11.
