Gather friends and family to visit those who sacrificed their lives in battle. The wreath-laying ceremony, color guard and noted speakers begin at 1PM every Veterans Day.

Statues dedicated to those who sacrificed their lives for the United States in the Korean War, and a wall with images of troops advancing sandblasted on the surface. Honor our soldiers by visiting the 19 stainless steel statues that include members from each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
