Monument Description
The monument is constructed in a semi-circular way. The base is made out of rough-cut white granite. Sitting atop the base are three smooth-faced slabs of rectangular white granite. The one in the middle is twice the length of the two on its wings. In between each wing-slab and the center-slab are two skinny pieces of black granite. All three slabs have bronze plaques on them, two on the center one and one on each of the other two. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Gaurd, and Merchant Marines are all represented with their respective insignia, three bronze markers on each wing-slab. A few feet in front of the monument crescent is a small metal statue. The statue depicts two military boots, rifle standing up between them, and atop the rifle is a soldier's helmet.
