When 17-year-old Dominique Claseman found out his hometown of Olivia, Minn. didn't have a veterans memorial, he decided to take action.

Olivia is a small town that calls itself the "corn capital of the world" and many residents are veterans, or related to veterans, Claseman said.

His father, grandfather and great-grandfather all served. "It's just never-ending," he said about his family's roots in the military.

So when it came time for the teen to choose a goal for his Eagle Scouts project, he decided to build Olivia its own veterans memorial.
