Veterens Memorial Park Monument - Klamath Falls, OR - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

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 on November 11, 2007 on Veterans Day 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 is a kiosk that visitors can use to search for any friends or family that may have a brick here.

There are two flag poles on either side of the brick dedications, one being a POW/MIA flag. 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 and show their respect and appreciation to those individuals here and gone who've given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Also, my grandfather, Stanley Rogers, a decorated WWII veteran, has a brick here at this memorial. I enjoy visiting his brick as well as many others who I know personally and have served with over the years.
