Camden Point Veterans' Memorial - Camden Point, Mo. - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

This memorial is located in a small park on the west side of Camden Point, Mo. The memorial consists of a highly polished black marble slab on a concrete circle with a solar lighted flagpole. The poem - Freedom's Flag by Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army, faces the visitor as (s)he approaches the memorial. The effect of the poem and the polished marble gives the visitor an opportunity for a visual and mental reflection. The dedication is on the north side of the marker. This is a very well executed memorial.
