This Veterans Memorial is located in Muskegon, Michigan within Veterans Memorial Park. Veterans Memorial Park is a lowland park containing a lagoon and island with several war memorials. A large fountain anchors the south end of the park with a Vietnam Memorial proudly occupies the north end. The park is easily viewed while traveling north and south along the Causeway. The Veteran’s organization graciously constructed a concrete walkway throughout the park, along which lay bronze plaques, purchased by individuals to commemorate loved ones who have served in the armed forces. This property is owned by the county and maintained by the City of Muskegon. The Memorial is a large rock with a plaque attached to it. The palque reads:" In recognition of all the men and women who have or ever shall serve our country in war or peace, dedicated by the Muskegon County United Veterans Council and representing all Veterans Organizations for all time.....
May the people of Muskegon County-Members of this great Nation-continue to contribute to world understanding and brotherhood under God.
