Situated in Trailside Park just off of Highway 371 in Peqout Lakes, this marker is one of many veteran's memorials in the park. The circular memorial features markers dedicated to the Korean War, World War I, Vietnam War and the Purple Heart. Dedicated pavers lead the pathway to the memorial which is flanked by flags.

The marker reads:
World War II 1941-1945

When my country called,
I answered
When my country asked,
I gave
Reach out now
across the years and
through the tears
Remember me

The center of the marker has the European Theater and Pacific Theater maps

The right side reads:
Total Servicemembers - 16,112,566
