Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial is home to several monuments honoring our nation’s veterans and those currently serving.
AMERICA’S WALL
In Perryville, Mo., stands an exact replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. America’s Wall is connected to the land and secluded in America’s heartland, where it transcends generations. It provides a respite from traffic and distractions, allowing visitors to completely immerse themselves in a calming and peaceful environment to remember, honor and reflect.
HONOR FLAG MEMORIAL
We remember. We remember the sacrifices and bravery of our nation’s military members and their families.
The Honor Flag Memorial is a large, concave structure, stretching 49 feet along the Welcome Center’s western edge. Each granite section pays homage to America’s conflicts and branches of the military, with laser-etched illustrations and typography.
GUARDIANS OF FREEDOM
Under the pavilion near the Welcome Center, you’ll find the Guardians of Freedom monument, a testament and tribute aimed at representing each military branch’s contributions to America as a free society.
The memorial’s design features the military seals of the United States Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.
