*The Annual Jefferson Township Honor Roll Veterans Memorial 9/11 Ceremony11
September 2020Eldersville, PA*


The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to stand in silent honor as we
remember those who lost their lives from the attacks on the 11th hour, the
11th day of September 2001 at the Veterans Memorial, located in Elderville.

The birth of the Veterans Memorial

A Jefferson Township Honor Roll was originally in front of the former
Eldersville Grade School and dedicated in the middle of World War II. The
names of the veterans who served from 1943 until the end of World War II
were not on the Honor Roll.

The original Honor Roll was wood and surrounded by a sandstone wall and
contained 137 names of Jefferson Township Veterans, but the wood section of
the Honor Roll was deteriorating. A decision was made by the board to erect
a new Veterans Memorial on its property and the contract to erect a new
Veterans Memorial was signed on the 4th of April 2005. After researching,
over 1100 names of veterans who had lived in Jefferson Township will then
be engraved in the granite of the new monument. On the 17th of June 2006,
the Jefferson Township Veterans Memorial was dedicated.

Rock of Ages in Wintersville, Ohio designed and erected a second monument
and a sketch of the original monument was engraved in the granite of this
new monument and was dedicated on Memorial Day, Monday, the 26th of May
2008.

The Jefferson Township Historical Society holds ceremonies at the Veterans
Memorial Site on Memorial Day, 9/11 and Veterans’ Day and all are welcome
to honor.
