1. Sherwood Veterans Memorial
The refurbished monument was dedicated on July 4, 2007 almost 98 years
to the day it was originally dedicated. The Sherwood Community dedicated
this renewed monument with an expanded mission, "In Tribute To All
Veterans.” - All Veterans who have served and will serve our nation in the
various wars and peacetime throughout history. Although the soldier
upon this pedestal is dressed in a uniform of the Civil War Era, his mission
has changed, He now represents veterans of all eras. He stands proudly
upon his new granite base in the center of a brick concourse. Many
dignitaries and groups participated to make that day special in the history
of Sherwood. Funding for this project was through the generosity of private
individuals, small businesses, 4-H clubs, veterans' organizations, fraternal
organizations and public officials. John L. Fahy VFW Post 5665 provided
leadership for this project.Erected 2007.
