The Dunn County Veterans Memorial was dedicated on June 14, 2000 to the military veterans of Dunn County, men and women, who served their country in military engagements and support capacities. Many sacrificed their lives; many suffered lifelong disabilities. All are hereby remembered with gratitude.
This monument symbolizes the global participation of Dunn County Veterans. They fought on every continent, every ocean, every air space. From the Civil War to the present, the men and women of Dunn County have served their country with valor.
Those veterans who have gone before us, and those who have yet to serve, symbolize our continuing desire to pursue the hopes and spirit of a free people in a peaceful world.
