Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Since 1983
The Monroe County War on Terror Memorial stands as a tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in the fight against terror. From 1983 to the present, we honor their memory, preserve their stories, and ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten. This space serves as a reminder of the cost of freedom and a place for reflection, gratitude, and community.
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. Explore the stories behind these names and learn how their legacies continue to inspire.
