The Montrose Veterans Memorial has a new design! The above pictures depict some of the new proposed features, including lasered black granite panels and service seals embedded in granite. The panels, which will display images of all wars from WWI through the War on Terror, will have a projected cost of $100,000--covering manufacturing and shipping. The MVMC has teamed up with the City of Montrose and Montrose County who are all contributing to create this memorial.
