  A front-on view of our Crawford County Veterans Memorial Walls

There are several walls involved in the Memorial. The walls contain names of the Crawford County veterans serving in foreign wars from WWII to present. Each of the walls contain etched names of the veterans and are indexed through the wall names/numbers to the names on each wall so that it is a simple task to find an individual's name easily through the wall indexing master list.
