Following are names that appear on the veterans memorial monument at the Klamath
County Courthouse, 316 Main St., Klamath Falls, Oregon. The list includes names of
soldiers who died during wartime (including some who were killed in accidents or died
from illness). Also shown are names reportedly omitted from the monument, and the
name of one Klamath Falls man who died shortly after a cease fire was called in the
Persian Gulf War.

The stone monument was erected in 1954, and replaced a wooden monument that stood at
the same site from 1943 to 1953. The monument is made of native stone taken from a
quarry near Montague, Calif. It is 24 feet high, with a base measuring 4 feet by 8
feet.
