“This Memorial is dedicated to the men and women from the Aleppo Township community who have insured our freedom now and for generations to follow.”
The Veterans War Memorial, located across from the Post Office on Aleppo Road, was originally built in the early 1970s. Over time, the memorial suffered deterioration and decay and needed to be replaced. The Aleppo Township Supervisors unveiled a new granite monument in a ceremony on Memorial Day 2014 that honors over 300 individuals from Aleppo Township whom served in the armed forces from World War I through Vietnam.
