The All Veterans Monument sits on a concrete pad surrounded by a 1 foot tall wall. The pad is about 25 feet across. The Monument is a 6-Sided Pylon (maybe Obolisk) or could be described as a vertical tapered hexagon. The base and body appear to be made out of black marble and bares plaques denoting the six recognized service branches of the United States.
The plaques appear to be cast brass and quite well polished. It is about 8 feet tall and the upper portion appears to be made out of highly polished brown granite. At the very top is a 6-Sided Glass Cap.
