The Lamar County War Memorial is located in Purvis, MS next to the old Lamar County Courthouse. The memorial was dedicated by the Lamar County Historic Society to honor the memory of the brave men and women of Lamar County who served in the armed forces of our country during past wars and is a beautiful tribute to their sacrifice. This monument is a 10 foot tall tiered structure and has an eagle with spread wings mounted on top of it. The monument contains a dedication plate on the front face and on the other faces are inscribed the names of those from Lamar County that were killed in each war. It's surrounded by stone benches and backdropped by an impressive array of flags.
