Prisoners of War/Missing In Action monument - Eagle Scout Project

Samuel Osterman from Jasper is a member of Boy Scouts of America Troop #185, and worked with the Jasper VFW Post #673, local contractors, county officials, and his family on a Prisoners of War/Missing In Action monument as an Eagle Scout Project. This addition was recently made to the Dubois County Courthouse property.

This truly incredible tribute was brought to reality by Local Eagle Scout and Jasper High School Senior Samuel Osterman.

Through a lot of very hard work and dedication, strong faith, family, and community support, this memorial, which was funded by Generous Corporate donors and Private donations will serve as a lasting and fitting tribute to ALL of Americas Prisoners of War and ENSURE that we “NEVER FORGET” our Comrades and Citizens who are still missing in action.

The City of Jasper, all of Dubois County and the entire State of Indiana honors their memory, and the families of those who were prisoners of war and all of those who have never made It back home to the United States of America.

The Public is cordially invited and encouraged to attend and support the County Wide Dedication Ceremony of The Dubois County POW/MIA Memorial Monument on the Courthouse Square located in downtown Jasper, IN at 10:00 am Sunday, 1st of December, 2024.

Samuel is the son of longtime Optimist Club Members, Merrill and Melissa Osterman. The Jasper Optimist Club was a proud supporter for this project.
