Incorporation of Existing Veterans Monument
Incorporation of Existing Veterans Monument
The existing Veterans Monument would be incorporated into a prominent position as a foreground to the Flagpole. The original monument will be recreated and etched with the service logo of our newest military branch known as the Space Force.

The following drawing provides a notional concept. A paved surface, known as Heroes Plaza in front the pole provides better optics for ceremonies during holiday remembrances or for personal recognition. 14 additional monuments will be added along the walking path, each depicting a military branch of service, a functional element of the military pertinent to this area, or a significant element in the history of our military.

Creation of a focal point is being suggested with an addition of a sculpture. Several artists have expressed interested in creating a bronze sculpture that would draw attention to the center of the walkway near the flagpole. Additional input from veteran's family members indicated that an interactive sculpture, something that can be touched, would be desired as it is expressive of the Veteran's desire to serve and help others, as well as being a comfort to those who remember the Veterans who have been a part of their lives. This element of the memorial may be considered in future plans.
