State, and six service flags, representing all
veterans – past, present, and future – both
peacetime and wartime. This memorial is
unique in that it honors the history of the
Cherokee nation as they existed in Union
County to the “Trail of Tears” depicting their
removal and the ultimate destruction of
their nation. Additionally, with malice toward
none, both Union and Confederate from
the county are recognized here. The Union
County War Memorial Veterans Park offers
a peaceful space for personal reflection,
patriotic ceremonies, and public education,
helping teach students about the brave
men and women who fought to preserve
our freedoms. Visit the memorial to
honor all veterans and help preserve
our shared history.
