The original Monument was erected in 1946. However due to lack of care, a new Memorial was erected at a new site (Main Street) in 1994. The Monument is dedicated to those from Hay Lakes who gave their lives in the Great War (1914-1918), World War II (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953). There are two annual Memorial Services at the Memorial given by the High School and by the Church and Citizens.
