In Veterans Park, in Jenks, OK stands a granite memorial "dedicated to all those who have served." It was placed by American Legion Post No. 95. This is a lovely circular monument setting, with landscaping, curved seating, donated pavers and a 10 foot high memorial.
Etched into the granite are words which could only be spoken by someone who knew.
"For those who have fought for it, peace has a meaning the protected will never know." - Author Unknown
