Our vision
These renderings depict what the Veterans Memorial Walk eventually will look like. The design includes an entry walkway to the memorial with a monument and flags. Guests will follow a semi-circular path, adorned with 10 benches, past mini-monuments representing each branch of the service. A special monument honoring America’s missing in action will be part of the memorial walk, which, in its entirety, will be about the size of a baseball field.

The memorial will include an American flag and a flag for each service branch.

The parking lot gives guests easy access to the walk's entrance.

The memorial will include mini-monuments representing each branch
of service and a special monument honoring America’s missing in action.

Paths, adorned with 10 benches, will lead to the memorial's monuments.

Ten benches will adorn the path that lead to the memorial's monuments.
