Choctaw Veterans Memorial - Choctaw, Oklahoma

The Veteran's Memorial pays tribute to those who served including: Department of Defense (DoD) civilians Former military Guardsman Military retirees Reserves Those gone, but not forgotten The Veterans Memorial at Choctaw was designed to honor our service men and women of all time and to pay special tribute to those persons on the home front who work together to defend our freedom. The Eastern Oklahoma County Veterans Memorial at Choctaw allows us to honor those who have honorably served our country. Those whose names appear on this wall represent that “special something” that sets America above all other nations. The four arches in the “Freedom Facade” are dedicated to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The Veterans Memorial received a one time contribution of $62,000 from the State of Oklahoma, donations from private citizens and businesses, and the Oklahoma Centennial Commission. In addition to these contributions, the sale of Memorial Bricks are a very important part of this not for profit project. This is a work-in progress memorial, located in Choctaw, Oklahoma, several miles east of Oklahoma City. The main structure is a five-arched wall. Other noteworthy features are: a soldier cut-out sculpture, concrete benches seating about 100, and a long wall of dedicated bricks on the south side. Someone has placed army boots with flowers in them along the south memorial wall. Visitors really enjoy seeing that touching display. There is plenty of parking in the lot on the east side of the memorial, with a direct access to the path through the monument.
