The first of five murals honoring Manteca soldiers who served in war time, from World War I to the present Global War on Terror, was dedicated on the day that celebrates the contributions of those brave military men and women – Veterans Day.The dedication ceremony, emceed by Manteca Historical Society president Norm Knodt, was held in the parking lot of Manteca Bedquarters on the northwest corner of Yosemite Avenue and North Main Street in the city’s downtown business district.The first mural, a 16-foot-by-20-foot acrylic painting titled “Eaglehearts” by Manteca artist Jesse Marinas, graces the north end of the wall. Knodt told the audience of local dignitaries, veterans, and residents that the Manteca Mural Society hopes to have all five panels completed and installed in two to three years. Next to be installed will be the World War II panel, Knodt explained, because the Mural Society wants to get that piece done while “we still have World War 2 veterans.”
