Selectmen and Veterans Group Plan New Memorial
Bennington Selectmen and the Veterans Memorial Committee agreed to replace the old wooden veterans memorial with a simple inscribed stone. A new site near the Girls Club corner was tentatively chosen, with a large veterans book to record names, service branches, ranks, and burial places.
