A local organization is continuing its mission to honor our nation’s fallen heroes as part of the Veterans Day celebration.
The Manitowoc County Civil War Round Table, in coordination with Manitowoc’s Evergreen Cemetery and Hofmann Monuments, will be out at the cemetery today replacing multiple unreadable and damaged headstones.
These granite grave markers will showcase the final resting places of ten Civil War veterans buried at Evergreen Cemetery, replacing the over 150-year-old sandstone, limestone, and soapstone markers that became damaged.
This is the second such replacement effort, as last year, eleven veteran gravestones and the four Grand Army of the Republic corner markers were replaced, also on Veterans Day.
The project will begin at 11:00, directly after the ceremony at the Veterans Memorial across the street.
