Placer County Veterans Monument
Since its humble beginnings close to five years ago, the reality of the project is finally taking place.
The Lincoln Veterans Memorial Coalition is a collaborative project of these five Veteran entities:
American Legion Post 264
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3010
Semper Fi Organization
Lincoln Hills Veterans Group
Woman Veterans Alliance
These groups came together for the purpose of building a Veterans’ Memorial in McBean Park to promote civic pride and to honor all Placer County Veterans – those still living and those who paid the ultimate price in serving our country.
The project has now officially met its financial goal, thanks to the $50,000 Veteran Legacy Sponsor donation from the Lawrence and Sarah A. Bonnifield Trust. The unveiling ceremony will now take place on Memorial Day, May 31, 2021. There will be a ceremony held in recognition of Veterans Day, November 11, 2020 at the site in McBean Park.
