TFG's WWII Veteran's scrapbook played an enormous role in the assemblage of the names on the new Victor Veteran’s Memorial Monument. Each page was photographed, every name was documented, checked and double checked for spelling and accuracy in order to be carved into the Memorial.

The Memorial was built to replace the Veteran’s Wall that was on the east wall of the historic Monarch Building for decades. When you would drive into Victor and turn onto 3rd Street, you would see local family members’ veterans names painted onto and filling the Monarch’s entire wall. When the Monarch was bought by Adam Zimmerlee, he changed the name to the “Black Monarch” and painted over the wall in black to match the theme of his murder hotel. The entire District pooled its resources quickly, hired a local artist to build the Monument, and we were able to contribute the names from the scrapbook given to us by Steve Bracklein, former owner of the “Prospector’s Pick.”

We are honored to be a contributor to this Memorial; TFG is dedicated to the preservation of not only the District’s history but to supporting its local families who had family members in the military. We continue to honor them by donating a portion of the sales of our artwork and photography, and we have a military discount in place for all sales.
