Members of Chapter 305 attended the May 30, 2005, dedication ceremony in Carson City, NV, of a memorial
to the veterans of the Korean War.
The site features individual boulders that represent each of the four
“Nevada Cities Complex” battles: Reno, Carson, Elko, and Vegas.
The memorial sits on a concrete pad, with a
brick walkway surrounding the central column. The names of supporters are engraved on the bricks, along with
ranks and branch of service where applicable.
