Have you ever visited the Margate War Memorial located at Mansfield and Ventnor Avenues? The first monument was erected in 1937 to honor those who fought in World War I. The $1,000 (approximately $23,000 today when adjusted for inflation) needed was raised by the community. Over time monuments were added to the site dedicated to veterans of World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Persian Gulf War.
