Description of Memorial:
This memorial resides next to the county museum north of town. A large grass area along side the road (Van Buren St.) with a smooth sidewalk curving to the site from the front of the museum.
The memorial itself is a bricked area strewn with 5 huge rough boulders, one of which carries the dedication plaque. The others protect the memorial from errant drivers coming in from the city street.
6 marble stones rise from the bricks and circle a single flag pole. The stone carried the names of all who served from this Oklahoma county.
Date of dedication: Not listed
