About This Memorial

The Cherokee Veterans Park monument honors U.S. military service members from all branches, featuring a central U.S. flag surrounded by five granite walls displaying each branch's name, motto, and founding year. Its pentagon-shaped plaza includes seat walls, a five-pointed star, and a column with military branch seals, while a dedicated area commemorates POWs and MIAs. The memorial's brick pavers allow personal tributes to veterans, with proceeds supporting its upkeep. Landscaping enhances the reflective space at the park's entrance.

"Beautiful memorial! I had taken pictures but decided not to post them and keep them for myself. If you pass the area I would suggest a stop and a little time for respect. These soldiers are why we can do what we do today."
