The City of Salisbury celebrated the restoration of the 1955 War Memorial.
Mayor Jake Day and other members of the city council attended the ribbon cutting ceremony at Pricilla Street and North Salisbury Boulevard.
The Salisbury Daily reports that council member Muir Boda told the gathering that the idea for the memorial came from local resident James Agnew.
The four-sided monument stands 32-feet tall tapering off as it reaches into the sky.
Atop is a 200-pound bronze Eagle.
Since its construction the monument began to show cracks.
In addition, Boda said that the irrigation system had failed and the brick pavers had been crumbling.
Mayor Day said that the city will be adding more than a 100 names to the monument to recognize those who have fallen since the time it was built.
