Oakhaven Memorial Gardens is a lovely cemetery on the south side of the town of Claremore. To the west of the chapel stands an area known as the Veterans Field of Honor.
A paved walkway leads to what is known as the Court of Freedom. One side of the two-sided concrete wall has bronze seals of the branches of the Armed Forces. The remaining side has a stone slab which reads:
"A nation that honors its veterans, is a nation dedicated to the preservation of a freedom won by the sacrifices of life itself. This Court of Freedom within the Veterans Field of Honor is appropriately dedicated to all veterans of all branches of the Armed forces who wore their uniform with pride and dignity, some ventured far, fought bravely and some gave their lives to preserve freedom and liberty in our land. They gave mute testimony to the manner in which they lived, worked and fought to achieve victories in order that America might live free."
Alongside this Court are bronze markers of numerous veterans. This is a lovely dedication.
