Take a self-guided tour of Greene County’s many monumental tributes to its soldiers. Veterans monuments and memorials stretch across the rolling hills of the county, and an afternoon spent exploring the countryside makes for a time of relaxation and remembrance.
A historic brick structure, the Capt. Robert C. Wiley Armory in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, still bears the plaque honoring its namesake, a local hero of World War II.
Every year during the Rain Day celebration, the Waynesburg community takes a moment to remember and honor the brave men of Company K, 110th Infantry, 28th Division who gave the ultimate sacrifice during World War I between July 28 and 29, 1918. The 18 young men are known as our “Rain Day Boys.”
Coming up are several opportunities to honor those who have served this country and call Greene County home.
The Tour of Honor is including the Veterans War Memorial in Aleppo Township in this year’s event!
