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.

We are currently endeavoring to restore the catmint behind the wall. It appears that this task may be more formidable than initially anticipated. ... See MoreSee Less

A little windy but I raised Old Glory at the Memorial this morning. Our new flags finally came in. Thanks to Terry Anderson for helping me stake out where our new trees will be going. Weather permitting our Blaze Maples will be planted next week. We will roll and plug the grounds and reseed the lawn. The catmint behind the wall will be trimmed. When all that is done we will wash the walls and benches. Hope everything is completed for Memorial Day. A big thanks goes out to Olson Rental for providing the roller and plugger. Chris has been a big supporter of our counties veterans. ... See MoreSee Less
