About the Memorial

The construction of the Martin County Veterans Memorial is now underway. Current and future plans for the memorial are outlined below.

MCVM VIRTUAL REALITY TOUR

This video takes you through a fly-through Virtual Reality Tour of the proposed design for the Martin County Veterans Memorial.

PHASE I OF THE MEMORIAL

A 70 foot flag pole supporting a 25′ x 15′ U.S. flag, a red granite sign and an 80′ x 8′ black granite wall with the names of Martin County Veterans have been installed as of 2019. Additional names will be added annually.

PHASE II OF THE MEMORIAL

Phase II will see the creation of a secluded natural setting with areas for quiet reflection by granite benches and life-size bronze statues of military soldiers representing all past and current war eras. A Bell Cobra-Fixed Wing Attack Helicopter, AH-1-66-F-15327, has also been acquired by the committee and will be put on permanent display at the memorial site.

Toys for Tots will not be happening this year in Martin County. Our director had medical issues and wasn’t able to get certified. We are actively seeking a new director for next year. Contact Chuck Mixson at 507-236-1072 if you would be interested in running this program next year and what it entails.Thankfully, Salvation Army will be helping the kids this year. TFT gave us permission to use the toys we have in inventory and they will be putting boxes out where TFT had them last year. If you need help or know someone who will need assistance, call Lisa at 507-239-9797 to get registered. Registration needs to be done by the end of October. DO NOT DELAY. REGISTER IMMEDIATELY! Toys can be dropped of at Salvation Army on Downtown Plaza. Donations can also be made to Salvation Army Toy Program. The Salvation Army will have a warming stand in front of their building on Downtown Plaza for the Glows parade and toys can be dropped off there. Please share this and get the word out to everyone. A big thank you to MCVM board of directors for letting us use this format to get the word out to help all our children. ... See MoreSee Less
