Benton Harbor, Roll of Honor - Photo Above - Benton Harbor placed this War Memorial for Service men from 1941 to 1943. More were to be added as needed. The observance took place on November 11, 1943. The Kiwanis Club of Benton Harbor held drives to raise funds. And it was placed on the Lawn of the Municipal Building. In November of 1943 there were 1600 names representing those in the armed forces. Plans for more names of the enlisted would be added later.
Under the Large Gold Star in the photo are the names of 16 who gave their lives in service of their country. Those Service Men were:
Chester D.Omweg, Bert Agens, Wilbur E. Ucek, Jessie Craft, Jr., Leo Edward Locke, Martin L. Barmore, Elmer A. Sommerfeld, Lloyd E.Klett, Charles L. Price, Ray L Evans, Ollin A. Stafford, J. W. Randall, Louis H. Harris, Chester W. Pulliam, Donald Stakley, Robert Poschke.

Also placed under the star is a quote by General McArthur: "I do not know the dignity of their birth, but I do know the glory of his death."

St. Joseph WW II Memorial – No photo at this time - On the same date as above, the Elks Lodge of St. Joseph erected an Honor Roll Memorial for the St. Joseph service men that served in the armed forces for WW II. The ceremony took place at Point Park.

 
Tribute: The following list is of the brave service men and woman that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country; their lives. There are over 300 names on this listing and it reflects the period
1941 to 1945, wars end. They left behind, mothers, fathers, wives, children, sweethearts, and other loving family members to answer the call to defend and protect this great land of ours. From the day Pearl Harbor was bombed to the surrender of Germany and Japan they fought for us, to keep us free.
