The Winkler County Veterans Memorial is a touching tribute to all veterans who served and a sobering reminder that freedom is not free. This grand and respectful memorial can be visited at the southeast corner of the Winkler County Courthouse grounds in downtown Kermit TX.
This gorgeous, colorful memorial is enclosed by a handsome wall with lone stars on top (for the Lone Star State of course). It has benches to sit on and several flowerbeds that beautify this memorial garden space.
The citizens of Winkler County have a wonderful place to pause and reflect on what we owe to those who are willing to lay down our lives to protect our homes and preserve our freedom. Blasterz thank them for erecting this memorial, and we appreciate the sacrifice and service of all Winkler County veterans.
The memorial has handicapped parking nearby and is ADA accessible.
