A total of 161 names are proudly listed on the newly renovated Veterans Memorial bronze plaques at the corner of First and Maple streets. The names are a heavy reminder of the Manistee County men who died serving their country.
Listed on the monument are those killed from Manistee County during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was an emotional ceremony yesterday afternoon when more than 120 people gathered to celebrate the restored memorial.
