Location – The Cornelius Veterans Monument is to be located on Main Street in Cornelius, North Carolina. See site map below:




Materials – The monument will be maintained by the Town of Cornelius and the material used for construction should be durable with minimal maintenance required. All submissions must be fully compliant with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Monument benches to be sold to public sponsors will be included in the overall design of the project.

The names and dates of service of about 600 veterans initially and space for another 600 for future inclusion on the monument will be included. The five seals of the armed forces of the United States (army, navy, marines, air force and coast guard), and the seal of the U.S. Merchant Marine during WWII, shall be prominently displayed in the design.

Signage which is visible from both directions on Main Street must be included.

Somewhere on the monument, prominent recognition should be given to Jerry Crump a Congressional Medal of Honor winner from Cornelius who distinguished himself in Korea with acts of bravery far above and beyond the call of duty.

A flagpole with yardarm for 3 flags shall be included in the design with effective lighting to illuminate the American Flag at night since it will be flown 24 hours per day.
