Home About ▼ Government ▼ Contact Us ▼ On August 15, 2011 the Granite Falls Town Council appointed a Veterans Committee to research potential locations, designs and funding options for a Veterans Monument in Granite Falls in honor and memory of Veterans with ties to the Granite Falls area. The committee consisted of Sam Erby (USMC), Chairman, Jim Mackie (USMC), Vice-Chairman, Ritch Bolick (USN), Secretary, Martin D. Townsend (USA), Jim Sullivan (USN) and Frank Mackie (USA). Town Manager Jerry Church was named ex-officio member. The Veterans Committee fulfilled its duties as the monument was completed on November 8, 2014 and a dedication ceremony was held on Veterans' Day, November 11, 2014 at 11:11 a.m. EST. The monument is inscribed with the names of 452 honorably discharged Veterans who served their country, including the names of 31 Veterans Killed in Action who laid down their lives to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. The Monument includes the dedication statement, "This Veterans Monument is dedicated in honor and tribute to the men and women of the armed forces who defend America in war and peace. Past, present and future...all forces and all times." The Town of Granite Falls continues to accept applications for name inscriptions on the Veterans Monument. Applications for new inscriptions that are received after July 31 of each year will be added to the monument the following year and dedicated at the annual Veterans Day Ceremony in November of each year. Applications for name inscriptions for the Veterans Monument may also be obtained at the Town Office. An alphabetical inscription list and monument key have been provided to assist you in locating your loved one's name on the monument.
