Inscription. The Veterans' Memorial Park is dedicated to the men and women who serve in the military of the United States of America. It honors those who sacrifice to defend liberty and to free others enslaved in tyranny. It preserves the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their family, their friends, their nation and the citizens of the world. Here there is no echoing cheer of victory, no bitterness of defeat. Only memories linger along the pathways of this park.

Erected 2005.
