An emotion-filled Remembrance Day ceremony in 2012 preceded the dedication of the new Morse Veterans Cenotaph as part of the town’s centennial celebration and drew a capacity crowd to the Morse Community Hall. Originally constructed in 2012, the first incarnation of the veteran's monument found itself the victim of an especially strong windstorm in January, causing the 7-inch thick slab of concrete to break as it broke off of its moorings. The good news is that much of the cost of the new Cenotaph was covered by insurance, though, as the thicker, upgraded replacement is a higher investment than the original. Mildred Weppler, Poppy Chairman of the Glen Kerr Legion Branch #126 presented George Byklum, Mayor of the Town of Morse with a cheque in the amount of $1000.00. The donation came from the Poppy Trust Fund and was used to pay the insurance deductible to replace the Cenotaph that was damaged by the windstorm in 2019.
Rick Conn, the owner of Grassland Memorials, who built both the original and the replacement, says that it took a while due to COVID-19 to get a new slab of granite in stock, but that the new monument is nearly 3 inches thicker and about 1,800 pounds heavier and newly designed fasteners. The Morse Cenotaph Monument Committee built the Morse Veterans Cenotaph in 2019 to commemorate all those who served in past conflicts as well as those who are currently serving our country. Built in the community park, the three-piece granite monument was inscribed with approximately 480 names. The project included installing a concrete surround pad, a concrete walkway framed with red stepping stones, two granite benches and a flagpole. In 2019, Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, David Anderson, Member of Parliament for Cypress Hills–Grasslands, announced up to $25,241 in support of a project in Morse, Saskatchewan, to honour Veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This funding, provided through the Community War Memorial Program, supported the construction of the Morse Veterans Cenotaph.
