Patriot Park is located at 4505 S. E. 15th Street, just west of the Tinker Diagonal. This war memorial stands among several others. Surrounded by a circular concrete walkway and landscaping, this is a red granite slab with an eagle and draped flags etched at the top.
The monument reads:
"Del City War Memorial / In honor of all Veterans / Engraved in our hearts as well as on this stone are the names of those who paid the supreme sacrifice."
Below this are the names of 21 Del City residents who were killed in action during World War II, Vietnam and Iraq.
A bronze plaque reads: "Dedicated 11-11-11(sic) 1995 Contributed by the citizens and friends of Del City." Following this are the names of the Engineer, Contractor and members of the War Memorial Committee.
