Veterans Day in Mexico was extra special this year as the community gathered to celebrate the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the newly constructed veterans monument.
The monument, located near the intersection of Teal Lake Road and Huntingfield Drive, aims to represent all Central Missouri veterans, not just those in Mexico. It features large granite monuments in honor of the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Merchant Marine, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Space Force.
See the dedication ceremony livestream on The Mexico Ledger's Facebook page.
