In 2006 the memorial site was moved to accommodate security interest of the Police Department and to provide a more prominent location designed to emphasize the importance of the memorial.

The new Veteran’s Plaza design includes the original Korean and Vietnam memorial and a “Walk of Honor”.  The “Walk of Honor” approaches the memorial from four directions, lined with commemorative bricks, engraved with the name, rank, branch of service, years of service and conflict.  The purpose of the “Walk of Honor” is to honor any area veteran who honorably served in the United States Military, Coast Guard or Merchant Marines.  Learn how to purchase a commemorative brick or to make a donation.
