Left Panel:
This Veterans' Memorial is dedicated to honor the memory of those Titus County men and women who gave "that last full measure of devotion" in defense of our country and the sons and daughters of Titus County who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces of the United States of America.
Contributions for this project came from school children, veterans, businesses, and countless citizens in a broad-based community-wide effort. They joined hands and hearts so the names of these honored dead should not be forgotten in this county.
The County Commissioners Court has generously provided the location for this memorial as well as funds for its foundation and landscaping. The City of Mount Pleasant contributed significant funding so this memorial could be completed.
Members of Post 3986 of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Jessup-Reed Post of the American Legion, and Bun Lilly Post of Disabled American Veterans served on the committee that raised the funds and oversaw the design and construction of this memorial.
