veterans memorial
Soldiers' honor site
A veterans memorial is a monument, park, building, or other structure dedicated to honoring military personnel who have served in a nation's armed forces.
Such memorials range from small local plaques to major national sites like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
They typically feature names of the fallen, symbolic sculptures, or contemplative spaces designed for reflection and remembrance.
The town dedicated a new veterans memorial on the courthouse lawn.
