On a sunny Sunday in September, St. Juvin Post 1336 Veterans of Foreign Wars [VFW] conducted a belated ceremony honoring 14 U.S. military veterans whose names were added to the west face of the Community Veteran's Monument located on the Coal City Intermediate School campus.
The monument now has 1,101 names of community veterans dating back to the Spanish-American War.
Pontiac Granite Company recently etched the names along with a Wall of Honor header at the top of the south face of the monument.
