Local VFW post hosts county memorial
Richmond County Veterans Memorial
Henry C Rencke Jr VFW Post 2403
Rockingham, Richmond County

"Dedicated to those who served to preserve the freedoms that we share as citizens of the United States of America

Thank you men and women of US Army US Air Force US Coast Guard US Marine Corp US Navy

In honor of those who served"

This memorial occupies a small space in front of the Henry C Rencke Jr VFW Post #2403. The designers have done something here I've not seen anywhere else. There are grave markers placed a garden setting with a bush at each marker. It didn't occur to me to cross check at the time of the visit, but it may be that each marker may represent the individuals named on the Honor Rolls of each war, but it is more likely they are former post members whose families have not used the government provided marker on the veterans real gravesite.

         
A triangular patch of ground in front of the local VFW beckons visitors for a quiet moment - Monument manages to recognize all modern conflicts and branches of service
