"A prominent highlight along the trails of Rick Rice Park is the Veterans Memorial Plaza, which honors both the five branches of the United States military and the men and women who serve our country. It displays the flag and motto of each branch along with the American and Texas flags.
During its dedication, a local order of Purple Heart veterans was presented with flagpole keys so they may use the space for their ceremonies. It provides a place for trail users to stop and reflect and to acknowledge Memorial Day and Veterans Day."
