Sowell Architects in partnership with the City of Conway, Arkansas and Mayor Bart Castleberry worked together to design a Veterans Appreciation Monument to be located within one of Conway’s roundabouts on Prince Street. The final location will be further investigated in coordination with the Conway Transportation Department and Conway Corporation.

The design features six sloped concrete monuments for each of the 5 branches of the military along with one additional for prisoners of war.  Each element has a corresponding flag representing the branches of service:  Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and POW/MIA.

The American flag lies at the center of the roundabout and serves as an anchor for each of the supporting military branches. The design is representative of this by creating horizontal elements at the perimeter sloping up to the taller vertical elements, rising out of the ground in support for the American flag. Each concrete perimeter element has a sign that corresponds with the movement of traffic as the vehicle navigates the roundabout.

The flags will be all weather flags and accent lighting will be provided.
