Dedicated and unveiled on 26 October 1995, this memorial is dedicated to the local veterans of the First and Second World Wars, Korea, and United Nations' peacekeeping missions. The stone slab has been cut in the shape of the Yukon Territory. The monument sits at the historical Binet House in Mayo. The rock used was donated by Bleiler Placers, a local gold mine in the area. Local volunteers constructed the monument and funding was provided by the village of Mayo, Mt. Haldane Lions Club and the Mayo Historical Society.
