Lincoln County War Memorial

This memorial consists of three granite steles and a granite bench, all of which are on a granite base. The memorial honors those from Lincoln County who died for their country in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, and Lebanon. The two smaller steles sit at 45 degree angles to the center stele. The center stele stands at six feet tall. An eagle is depicted near the top of the center stele. The memorial contains the names of 13 servicemen from World War I, 94 from World War II, 11 from the Korean War, 16 from the Vietnam War, and one each from Grenada and Lebanon. Those who lost their lives in Grenada and Lebanon were added after the initial unveiling.
