The Palmerton Area Veterans Memorial was built and dedicated in 2012 to honor all service members from the Palmerton Area who have served our country.
The centerpiece is a sculpture entitled “Some Gave All,” and depicts a gun and helmet. James N. Muir of Sedona, Ariz., sculpted the top piece of the sculpture, which was donated by goodwill ambassador Richard Nothstein.
It is surrounded by a wide walkway and standing stones with the names of veterans.
Those who were killed in action are named on the base of the sculpture.
The memorial consists of 24 slabs of granite, and contains the names of 180 veterans per slab engraved on the granite.
