Inscription. The focal point of Veterans Plaza is the Dearborn War Memorial, which was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 1981.

The Memorial has a unique and symbolic "Flag in the Ground” design. Its "field” is a 24-square foot raised brick podium. Flag "stripes” extend horizontally from the "field."

The permanent, living Memorial, long a dream of the Allied War Veterans Council of Dearborn, replaced the former War Memorial Board which had to be removed in 1980 as part of Town Hall Addition construction project.
