About This Memorial

The O'Fallon Veterans' Monument in O'Fallon, Illinois is a large star-shaped memorial featuring 15 granite pillars, dedicated on Memorial Day 2006. It honors honorably separated veterans who lived within O'Fallon Township High School District 203 or O'Fallon Township, with over 2,093 names engraved as of 2024. The beautifully landscaped site includes a pond, fountains, benches, and a kiosk directory locating each veteran's name.
