The Veterans Resource Center in Eagle River is working to create a lasting memorial honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. A place where their sacrifices are honored, their bravery celebrated, and their service remembered for generations to come.
The land has been purchased at the north end of Highway 45 in Eagle River, but there is still much work to be done to bring this vision to life.
❤️ We need your help to make this memorial a reality! ❤️
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a place of honor and remembrance for our veterans and community.
Please share this post to help spread the word. Together, we can ensure the service and sacrifices of our veterans are never forgotten.
