Saturday, Nov. 7, area veterans gathered on the Bolivar square to not only be honored but to witness the dedication of Monument 250. This memorial specifically honors the local service members from Polk County who made the ultimate sacrifice during WW II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The vision of this monument began in 2021 and evolved into Asa Murray’s Eagle Scout project. It took five years of planning and hard work. Constructed by local craftsman Carl Summers of Superior Products & Services, Monument 250 stands as a permanent pledge from a younger generation that the sacrifice of these men and women will never be forgotten.
