A reflecting pool provides a sense of solemnity as a visitor approaches the monument housing the names of those you gave the ultimate sacrifice.

The monument will honor those who have served in each of the military branches and also the heroes who lost their lives in service of our country.

A gazebo will serve the dual purpose of offering a shaded seating area to visitors during non-event days, while also providing a staging area for formal gatherings.

The following slides demonstrate the engineering, lighting, and architectural details that will make the memorial a truly special place to visit.

Using durable brick, stone, and marble, the memorial is designed to be a place that many generations will be able to visit, reflect, and pay tribute to those exceptional people who have served our country.

A 50 foot wide reflecting pool is home to a kneeling soldier statue.

A sense of reverence is enhanced at night by lights.
