Geocache Description:

A multi-cache honoring those of Delta County, Colorado, who gave their lives in service to their country.

CEMETERY IS CLOSED DUSK TO DAWN! Please show respect for the hours and the lives represented


This multi cache is to direct the mind to remember and honor those who gave everything.

A small portion of well know verse is cast in the plaque attached to the monument.  To what war is it referring, WWI, WWII, Korea?  If you do not already know the background, we highly recommend researching this piece of verse.  The story and subsequent history is quite interesting and worth the time. (See "Related Web Page" for more info)
