1. "The Holley Boys" Marker
This marker is to commemorate the nine young men who lost their lives in service to their country during the conflict in Vietnam. The "Holley Boys" attended classes here at the high school in the heart of the village before war called them to adulthood. They grew up with stories of their fathers from battlefields past, and each of them served with distinction when the great battle of their age arrived.
