In honor of Veterans Day 2017 we have reconstructed the Odebolt Area Veterans Memorial page that was once on odebolt.net.
This monument to honor Odebolt's veterans was finished in late 2003 by the Odebolt American Legion Roose Post #313 and Auxiliary. It is located in Odebolt Cemetery, about 1/2 mile south of Odebolt on Highway 39 (S. Des Moines Street).
On the memorial are listed 939 area veterans who served from in World War I, World War II, in Korea and in Viet Nam, covering the years of 1901 to 2000.
Please visit the page to see the list of veterans.

I sure love the memorial.
ReplyDeleteNot sure who may or may not see this, but my dad's first name is misspelled on this list, and also on the physical memorial. It reads "Lawrance Hoefling," but his name is in fact spelled "Lawrence Hoefling."
Not sure what it would take to fix, but I hate the idea of our posterity being given the wrong spelling.
God bless you all for your work.
