A veterans memorial display has been installed inside the Shasta County Administration Building on Court Street. Shasta County Veterans Service Officer Wesley Tucker spent a great deal of time and effort combing through national archives records to identify every one of the Shasta County residents who lost their lives while in a military conflict from World War One forward. The display on the second floor of the Admin Building features replica dog tags representing each one of the fallen. The other side of the display shows a battlefield cross with a soldier’s boots, rifle, dog tags and helmet. The display will remain in place through the end of the month.
