THANK YOU for your veteran organization’s help in maintaining the David Dewett Veterans Memorial! This document is to serve as the standard operating procedure for the care and maintenance of the wayside by volunteer groups. We ask that all veteran groups who participate treat the wayside for what it is, a living memorial honoring our nation’s heroes and their families. This memorial is invaluable to our local veterans and their families, as well as to travelers from around the world who stop at this wayside to remember the sacrifices made by those who served our country, and to begin to heal.
