Located in Don Jones Memorial Park is a multi-war memorial dedicated in remembrance of every Oregon military service member killed in the line of duty since Oregon became a state in 1859. This war memorial was officially dedicated on November 11, 2015 and is comprised of separate monuments from each military branch of service as part of a circular memorial walk. There are also donated metal plaques embedded in the concrete paver walkway and a small gazebo as well. In the center of the memorial is an elevated bronze sculpture of two fighting eagles in flight. Flags of each branch of service surround the sculpture and war monuments to invoke an overall scene of patriotism.
