Military members from the area of College Park, Maryland, who were killed in action are honored with a spiraling walkway war monument at the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Greenbelt Road.
Concentric low walls feature the engraved words Honor, Courage, Sacrifice, and Service facing outward to the streets. Four flag poles form a north-south line down the east side. Cast bronze plaques are embedded within the northeast interior face of the uppermost wall section. A round plate in the middle displays the city seal. To its far left, a recognition of those lost during The Great War:
IN MEMORY OF
THE MEN IN THIS AREA
WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE
WHILE SERVING THE ARMED FORCES
OF WORLD WAR I
