The Spearfish Veterans Monument organization was conceived and developed as a joint effort of members of both the American Legion Post 164 and the Queen City VFW Post 5860. Thanks to the generous support of countless local individuals and organizations, four of the five granite walls of the monument have been dedicated to date.
