1. Beecher City Area Veterans Memorial
We bow our head in deep respect to
Our Lord and thank him for the many
Brave men and women who have answered
The call to the fight for freedom.
We render top all their dues:
Tribute to whom tribute is due;
Honor to whom honor is due
Romans 13:7
Some have paid the supreme price,
Some have paid a lesser price
But whatever the cost, you have paid it.
We stand in deep appreciation
For the liberty we enjoy and
We stand in honor to your memory.
Erected 2004.
