Gladwin County Veterans Park

The current Gladwin County Veterans Memorial is in need of major repairs.

Time, the elements and vehicle emissions have been hard on the brick-and-mortar structure.

Instead of spending money making temporary repairs to the current memorial, the Gladwin County Veterans Committee and the County Commissioners feel a new, improved memorial should be built to honor our County’s Veterans.

The new memorial will be more of a park-like setting with each service era having their own granite slab with the name of each veteran permanently engraved into the stone. Between each wall will be a path leading to the next with memorial benches available along the way. Paver bricks will be sold to place along that path to honor your favorite veterans not eligible for placement on the wall. This memorial will fill the open grounds just East of the County Building.

Your donations to this project to honor our County’s Veterans would be greatly appreciated.

Donations can be made in the following manner:

Gladwin County Veterans Memorial Fund

The Gladwin County Veterans Memorial is in dire condition. Rather than spending large sums of money to repair the current memorial, a new Veterans Memorial project has been started. The County Board of Commissioners have approved the use of the property on the East side of the Court House to use for this purpose. This new Veterans Memorial will be more of a small park-like setting with veterans from each service era being represented in its own display.

Any donations made will be used solely for this purpose. Any remaining funds will be placed into a perpetual care fund for the memorial.
