The Wharton County Veterans Memorial, dedicated on November 11, 1986, needs urgent repairs. Originally envisioned with granite panels, the design was simplified. Currently, the memorial suffers from broken bricks, rusting chains, and grime. Although donations go to the county fund, maintenance has been unclear. Local businesses like Stockwell Construction are offering help. With Veterans Day approaching, it’s crucial to fix these issues to honor the memorial’s legacy properly. The memorial stands as a tribute to the sacrifices of Wharton County’s veterans.
