Three granite memorials installed around a flagpole. The first was installed on June 15, 1954, by the Town of Cairo in memory of those who served in the great wars. The second was installed on May 12, 1996, by Mohican Post 983 in memory of all conflicts. These two memorials were originally installed on the front lawn of the Cairo Central School. The black granite memorial is a replica of a wooden memorial built by WWII Navy veteran Earl Houghtaling. This monument lists the 270 servicemembers from Cairo and seven who lost their lives in WWII. This memorial was installed on Nov. 11, 2005, on the front lawn of the Cairo Town Hall. All three memorials were moved to the Joseph E. Pahl Memorial Circle in the Cairo Town Park in January 2017.
