While Memorial Day is dedicated to remembering those killed in America’s conflicts, the fallen in this country’s 20th Century conflicts are recalled every day at Veteran’s Field of Honor. Located in the Arthur W. Anderson Peace Park near Loves Park City Hall, the memorial was designed to  honor veterans who served in the five wars of the 20th century.

Five vertical columns and eight resin-composite life-sized statues are set before a series of 40 American flags. A small column honors civilian contributions to the war efforts. A separate memorial honoring Korean War veterans is nearby.

The statues honoring the war dead of the 20th century face out to a broad park, and a collection of flags already in place for Memorial Da
