Van Wert County has created memorials to honor those who not only served in the military but also those who protect and serve residents every day. After nearly two years of planning and construction, the American Legion Post 178 unveiled the new monuments in Memorial Park. They already had one that honored those veterans who served in Vietnam, but they wanted to add monuments for those men and women who served in the wars in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan to honor their service and have a place for them to reflect when they are struggling with issues like PTSD.
