A monument to honor Odebolt's
veterans was finished in late 2003 by the Odebolt American Legion Roose Post
#313 and Auxiliary. It has the names of 939 area veterans who served from 1901
to 2000. It is located in Odebolt Cemetery, about 1/2 mile south of Odebolt on
Highway 39 (S. Des Moines Street).
To be included on the list, a veteran must have been inducted from the Odebolt
area, or lived most of his/her life in the Odebolt area, and served in any
branch of the service at anytime from 1900 - 1999. An extensive search for all
eligible veterans was conducted, as well as fund raising activities to pay for
the monument.
Construction
on the monument began in the spring of 2003. It was dedicated at
ceremonies held on Memorial Day in 2004.
The Legion & Auxiliary would like to thank all those who committed both time and
money to make this project a success both within the area and also to those
living far away who still have a special connection to Odebolt.
