Patriots Peace Memorial

Patriots Peace Memorial is dedicated to active duty, reserve and national guard military personnel, from the Kentucky - Indiana region, who have died in the line of duty, under conditions other than combat or hostile action. To date there have been 452 patriots enshrined within the memorial's walls. Names are inscribed on glass plates, which are installed in the wall in place of concrete blocks which are removed in the process. Although the memorial is owned by the City of Louisville, Kentucky, it is maintained by the Patriots Peace Memorial Committee, Inc, a totally volunteer non-profit organization. Enshrinement ceremonies are conducted annually on Memorial Day, with the active participation of active duty, reserve and veterans, as well as families of those being enshrined.
