Visitors to Veterans Memorial Park will see many monuments dedicated to those individuals who served in numerous wars over the years. There is also a circular area with dedicated bricks of many individuals from the Klamath Basin who've served in various wars and tours of duty all over the world.
This memorial complex was officially dedicated in 2007 and since that time, this park has received many visitors paying their respects to friends and loved ones who may have a brick placed here or just want to show their appreciation to those who've served, defending our freedoms.
There are two flag poles on either side of the brick dedications and this POW/MIA flag is one of them. The flag on the opposite side also has a plaque located at its base that has the inscription 'In God We Trust' on the face.
At night, various colored lights light up the flags and the sidewalks that lead to and from the monument. It all makes for a very serene atmosphere.
As a former military member, I feel honored to be able to waymark this monument and let others come and visit this place to show their respect and appreciation to those individuals here and gone who've given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
