My Town Belding: WWI monument closer to reality
BELDING, Mich.—Visitors to the Belding Veterans Park now have a place to sit.
Project leader Denny Craycraft says the park now has six benches. Two of those benches were donated by Belding Tank, which also made a sizable donation toward bricks for the WWI monument. Lake Design and Gerref Industries also donate to the effort.
Craycraft, who is a Vietnam veteran, has been working on adding park memorials for local veterans of every war since July 2010. The World War I monument will feature the names of 135 area veterans who served in the war. It will be the fourth monument installed at the park. The most recent addition was a Korean War Monument, which was dedicated on Veterans Day, last November.
