From the city’s park webpage:
Located in the beautiful Edisto Memorial Gardens, the Park has great meaning to the community as it honors our veterans. Very distinguished in appearance, the Veterans Memorial features a 25 foot high obelisk, six granite sections representing the branches of service, and granite plaques identifying the wars in which our country has been engaged in. Nine flags grace the park, representing the United States, the state of South Carolina, the six branches of service, and the POW/MIA’S. Also, located in the park are six granite naming panels recognizing those individuals from Orangeburg County that made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country in times of war. Memorial bricks are available for purchase to honor our veterans.
