Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates take you to the Hales Corners Veterans Memorial, dedicated on May 28, 2012. To find the coordinates, solve the field puzzle.


The memorial's design features a five-pointed star to honor the five branches of the United States Military – Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force.

The answers to the field puzzle are found on the large bricks along the perimeter of the memorial, not the small bricks. If you’d like to attempt this cache in winter, you are welcome to email me for the coordinates.
