A LEGACY
THAT LIVES ON

Each name etched into the memorial represents a life dedicated to protecting the freedoms we hold dear.

The memorial’s design includes 10 concrete columns representing military branches, POW/MIA, and key operations such as the Gulf War, United Shield in Somalia, Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and Iraqi Freedom. At the center stands a life-sized battlefield cross, a solemn reminder of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
