Originally constructed after World War II, this monument was rebuilt in 2001 and service members were added from the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf War and Bosnia Conflicts. This memorial is a community honor roll, honoring all citizens who served the small community of Lycippus, a community divided politically by Mount Pleasant and Unity Townships and the Mount Pleasant Area and Greater Latrobe School Districts, respectively. The community is also home to a handful of churches, a post office, a former hardware store that closed this past summer and a golf course community.
The memorial stone was replaced in 2001 to add all the names and was donated by a local memorial company.
