The Celoron Veterans Memorial honors local service members from World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq: Herman Faulkner, Herman Kent, Cyrus M. Greiner, Harold Lind, Kermit Miller, Ronald H. Ramsey, Harold Seekins, Boon Takagi, Howard A. Wheeler, Gilbert Yasher, William H. Lawson, Jules T. Bouckhuyt, Merle Floyd Butler II, Randall John Gustafson, and James C. Matteson. It includes a tribute to Sgt. J.C. Matteson, saying he has gone to God's kingdom but lives on in the hearts of others, that his presence brought light into many lives, and that like many brave soldiers before him he gave his life fighting so others could have more. The tribute says hearts were left broken and sad over the life he should have had, calls him a shining star, and expresses hope of seeing him again in heaven. It is dedicated to those who served, those who are serving, those who waited, and those who are waiting.
