Warren County Veterans Memorial
About This Memorial
The Warren County War Memorial, dedicated on November 11, 1998, honors the 287 men and two women from Warren County who lost their lives or were declared missing in action during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Located next to the Warren County Courthouse in Belvidere, the memorial features three black granite panels inscribed with the names of the fallen, set on a brick plaza with granite benches. The site includes the United States flag and the POW-MIA flag, symbolizing remembrance and honor. A time capsule was placed in 1999, and a voice repeater system installed in 2000 allows visitors to hear the history of the monument and the names of those commemorated. The memorial serves as a solemn tribute to the county's sacrifices across multiple conflicts. Adjacent to it stands the Purple Heart Memorial, dedicated in 2000 to honor those wounded in the nation's wars, featuring red granite and matching design elements.
