Veterans Memorial Park WWII Monument - Klamath Falls, OR - World War II Memorials / Monuments 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. The World War II plaque says the following words:

World War II (1941-1945)

To those who stood for right, who
defended our nation against
autocratic aggression, and sought to
better mankind.

A surprise Japanese military attack
on the United State at Pearl Harbor,
a naval base on Oahu, Hawaii,
awakened the sleeping giant and
united a nation behind the common
purpose of liberating the oppressed
and guarding freedom. President
Roosevelt called 7 December 1941 "a
date which will live in infamy." The
four year campaign in Europe against
the German aggression and in the
Pacific against the Japanese
aggression brought total war to the
globe; no American, military or
civilian, was untouched.

World War II was the proving ground
on which our military dominated land,
sea, and air, though it cost us more
than 400,000 American lives to do so.

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.
