In 2006, a group of Medina Veterans, their family members and representatives from the Medina Sandstone Society embarked on a project to provide a permanent tribute to the 550 soldiers from Orleans County and the surrounding area who joined Company F. These men enlisted and trained at the Medina Armory for conflicts from 1898 to 1945 including the Spanish-American War, Mexican-American, World War I and World War II, as well as Company C from 1947-77.
On October 14, 2008, after two years of planning, fundraising and building Phase I, the Company F Memorial was dedicated to those soldiers at an emotional ceremony featuring surviving WWII Veterans as well as their families and local dignitaries. View images from the ceremony and the following video.
