St. Charles Veterans Memorial |
 |
|
Dedicated on November 11, 2005. This beautiful and contemplative memorial honors those who serve and served. It salutes all veterans who are presently serving our country as well as those who have served in the past including those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in war.
The focal point of the memorial is a black granite pentagon shaped monument consisting of a base slab, five support wedges with one of the military branch medallions engraved on the face of each support, and a top slab on which sits a statue of an eagle about to take flight. Water bubbles up through the middle of the support wedges, runs between them, and drops into a small reflecting pool at the monument's base. Five flag poles are strategically placed at the edge of the memorial representing the five armed services: Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force. |
