The memorial consists of 4 stone tablets with individual names of veterans from various conflicts and wars. Any veteran who received a DD214 is eligible to have their name on the memorial. The entrance to the memorial has an oblisk on each end, and the handicap accessible sidewalk winds around each stone. The center circle of the memorial has a dedication stone with the symbols of each branch of the military on one side. The other side is engraved with the words, "For your dedication, courage, and sacrifice, We thank you". In the layout there is also a cannon that has been restored and a bronze statue of a Battlefield Cross. A wrought iron fence runs parallel to the drive along the memorial.
