Mason County Honors 6,500 Veterans | Charleston News

In Mason County, West Virginia, a powerful new memorial is rising to honor nearly 6,500 local veterans—each name etched in granite to never be forgotten. Featuring a special tribute to three Medal of Honor recipients, the monument also commemorates casualties, POWs, and those missing in action. Veterans share moving stories, including one Navy vet who’s been part of the project for years, reminding us that service runs deep in this community. A statue of fallen Staff Sgt. Jimmy Stewart, who sacrificed his life in Vietnam to save comrades, stands as a symbol of courage. With $100,000 still needed to complete this phase, the project is poised to grow—with Phase Three including a parking lot—to ensure this solemn tribute endures for generations.
