The 4,900-square-foot Veterans' Memorial Park is under construction on the west side of Grant-Valkaria Town Hall, facing the front lake and fountain beneath a beautiful heritage oak tree. The majestic tree will provide shade and solace for family members and veterans as they remember their loved ones and honor their brothers and sisters-in-arms. The Memorial is made possible by fundraising events, donations, and sponsorships from area businesses, Grant-Valkaria residents, and surrounding communities, all honoring the memory of their brothers and sisters-in-arms.
The Memorial will be ADA-compliant and built in phases, pending sponsorships, donations, and commemorative brick sales. It will include life-sized bronze statues of a male and female soldier, stacked-stone monuments that will hold 4" x 8" laser-engraved commemorative Veteran bricks, and six military branch emblems displayed on a 4-foot concrete-block entrance wall. Two flagpoles will fly the U.S. and POW/MIA flags. Around the monuments will be concrete benches, a Battlefield Cross, a Bald Eagle statue, an Eternal Flame, and a K-9 Service Dog. Educational markers will be placed within the ADA-compliant educational area.
