Alpine Cemetery Veterans Memorial

Five columns stand in the Alpine cemetery, one for each branch of the armed forces — Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Marines, and Army, reading left to right. Together they honor everyone from this small mountain town who wore a uniform, set among the graves of the community they came home to. There's a plainness to a memorial like this that suits the place: no single famous name, no grand battle, just a town's steady insistence on remembering its own. It's a recent monument, the kind small towns raise when they decide their service deserves permanent stone.

What the plaque says
