October 11, 2021 – Slinger, WI – A tribute to veterans in Washington County as silhouettes of soldiers from past wars are put in place at St. Peter Cemetery in Slinger.
Rex Melius, also know as The Cemeterian, is the one behind the effort.
“I saw an article where this town in England volunteered for WWI and how many of them were killed and so to honor them they had this silhoutte and I thought this would be a great way to honor our vets,” said Melius.
Melius put the materials together.
The silhouettes were created by Weld Fab Manufacturing in Slinger and Kettle Moraine Coatings in Jackson powder coated them.
Seen a silhouette in union cemetery in slinger also very cool and spine chilling
