The memorial is two brick columns leading to a patio paved with bricks which hold the names of veterans of all branches of service and all wars. The obelisk at the center contains the phrase “All Gave Some, Some Gave All,” and the seals of the military branches: the Marines, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Army, the Air Force, and the Merchant Marine. It is approximately 4 ft tall by 2 ft wide. Benches around the monument read “Country,” “Honor,” and “Duty.”
