Local citizens representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Gridley-Biggs Cemetery formed the Gridley-Biggs Military Veterans Court of Honor Committee in 1996 to raise funds for a memorial to honor veterans of foreign wars and overseas action as well as those who have served in peace time.
