With the love this community has for our veterans who
are buried there, it was decided to make this into a Veterans Memorial in honor of our 155 veterans buried here. With help of several, a name tag was made for each of our veterans with their name, what service they were in, and which war they were in, and these were stapled to the top of the gazebo in alphabetical order.

We are still in the process of painting and repairing the gazebo and hope to have a dedication to our veterans on Veterans Day.

During this time, Fossil Ridge Roofing out of Denison was putting a lot of new roofs on local houses because of the storm that had come to our area. The opportunity arose to ask David Votaw of Fossil Ridge about a new roof for the gazebo, as the one on it was in very bad condition. He went and looked at it and talked with his boss and said they had some shingles left over that would cover it at no charge to the cemetery. We were overwhelmed.

"Thanks" can never say enough. Our Veterans Memorial dream is coming true – thanks to Fossil Ridge Roofing and many other caring people.
