3. In Memory of Our Heroic Comrades Marker temporarily replaced
I visited this marker on Aug. 25, 2025 and the marker had been replaced with a flag drop-off box in a new brick containment vault. A spokesman for the VFW told me the marker plaque is being restored and plated for weatherization. Should be a new display soon!
