Covington World War I Memorial
In memory of the Covington area servicemen who served our country in World War I.
Each generation of Americans is called upon, at great cost, to defend and preserve freedom and the sacred rights and liberties for which our ancestors fought, bled, and died, and to hand them down to future generations.
The servicemen from the Covington, Ohio area who are identified on this monument, as well as those who are unidentified, who honorably served our nation, deserve our gratitude and should be remembered forever.
They did their part to safeguard the blessings of freedom.
