The square shape of the memorial represents the four corners of the world where our veterans have served. The nine statues represent those who served in our country's eight wars. The statues stand unified in a continuous circle surrounding the plaza to symbolize the common virtues and commitments, which motivated them to serve and to sacrifice for their country. Located in the center, stands an obelisk which memorializes those veterans who paid the ultimate price. An American eagle stands tall and proud atop the obelisk, surrounded by the veterans who protected our nation over the years against evil and aggression.
