The program will consist of patriotic music selections, appropriate military protocols, dedication of the monument, and appreciation of all our veterans who have served our great nation. Light refreshments will be available in the pavilion following the ceremony. We recommend bringing a lawn chair to make more seating available.
With the placement of the final two granite tablets, the service to their country of nearly 1,800 veterans has been memorialized at the park. The memorial itself consists of a single black granite tablet displaying the United States Armed Forces service emblems flanked by six custom etched gray granite tablets honoring a total of 300 service members each.
The Greene County Veterans Memorial Park is located at 900 Rolling Meadows Road in Waynesburg between the tennis courts and the Greene County Historical Society Museum. The World War I Memorial is also in the same vicinity.
