LINCOLN, CA — Friday September 10th, 2021- Fences are down and Flags are up to welcome all in Placer County. On Friday morning, Don Witt, President of the Lincoln Veterans Memorial Coalition, met with Lincoln Mayor Alyssa Silhi, and Lincoln City Council members William “Bill” Lauritsen & Paul Joiner to be among the first to see the completed structure. All commented on the quality of the construction and the Gladding McBean Medallion. The forty-foot-long Monument, which is eleven feet high in the center, is very impressive and now the center piece of McBean Memorial Park.
