The Granite Monument
The purpose of the granite monument is to replace the bronze plaques that listed our fallen heroes who lost their lives while serving in the armed forces of the United States during World War II, The Korean War and the Vietnam War. The bronze plaques were ripped off and likely sold as scrap metal. The granite monument was designed by John Barton ’54 with assistance from Patricia Sullivan Rosenkranz ’49 who wrote the book Honored Dead, which tells the story of the Cleveland High School ‘Gold Star Men’ who died while serving in World War II.
