Honoring service. Preserving memory. Inspiring generations.
The Oconto Falls Veterans Monument grew from years of planning, fundraising and community support. Global Recognition helped design and produce recognition materials that bring individual names, military service and sponsor support into one lasting memorial.
A community vision carried forward
A dedicated bronze plaque honors Marie Magnin, whose determination helped begin the project in memory of her husband, Orrie “Chub” Magnin, and all veterans. American Legion Post 302, the Legion Auxiliary and community partners helped turn that vision into the monument visitors see today.
