Vertical polished black marble memorial that resembles a surfboard with a missing crescent in the upper left side. I do not know if there is any significance to the shape of this memorial but if you look at the waymark for the Vietnam Memorial in New London, Ohio, you will notice a similarity of shape between the two.
