The memorial, built in 1949, lists the names of 619 local military personnel who served in the war. The restoration project, estimated to cost $70,000, aims to create replicas of three missing plaques and repair a fourth. Fundraising efforts are underway, with over $14,000 raised so far. The project is crucial for preserving the history of the community and honoring the veterans.
