1. About the memorial
While this memorial stands on the grounds of another memorial, it has been given its own profile. This memorial was installed in 2019, 16 years after the county's memorial was originally dedicated. Additionally, the POW★MIA unoccupied chair memorials tend to have their own profiles.
