Mr. Brooke,

I will almost be willing to bet it is Texas Red Granite and not a V.A. marker and if it is Texas Red Granite then it is likely a Texas soldier or a memorial to a Texas unit. I have seen them in Georgia, North Carolina, and in Virginia.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,
