The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 approved the location for the proposed memorial on the grounds of the Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall at 18375 Fir Drive. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4748 in Tuolumne is sponsoring the project.
The memorial is intended to add to the tradition of honoring veterans at the hall, specifically for the most recent generation. The memorial will feature a brick walkway leading to an elevated platform with a flagpole and three stone plaques honoring those who died in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Sept. 11 attacks. The memorial will also be available to be used by the public for events such as weddings, concerts and community gathering and would be wired for lighting, sound and security. The projected completion date is Fall of 2019.
The project is expected to cost approximately $86,000 and is being funded largely through community donations and through selling commemorative bricks and pavers that will be installed at the memorial.

Update: As of 2023 we are no longer selling memorial bricks.
