Veterans' posts throughout the city and county provided financial support. 无数人用自己的劳动和金钱来支持这项工作。 The 丹河地区社区基金会 continues its assistance with its management and disbursement of funds.

The site is comprised of a 7 foot high by 158 foot black granite wall with the names of all local veterans who died in our Nation's wars from the American Revolution to our present conflicts. The central focus of the wall is the engraved slogan, "Freedom is not Free."

A circular brick Memorial Walkway engraved with veterans' names on individual bricks enhances the site. 来自任何地方的退伍军人，活着的或死去的，都有资格获得一块刻有名字的砖。 The public is encouraged to 买一块砖。 for any honorably discharged loved one or for any man or woman currently serving in any branch of our armed services.

Granite plaques imbedded in the Memorial Walkway relate a brief history of each of our Nation's conflicts. 环形走道的中心是美利坚合众国、弗吉尼亚联邦的国旗，以及向我们的战俘和在行动中失踪的人致敬的国旗。

黑色花岗岩长凳环绕着纪念走道的四周，让游客可以停下来，回忆和沉思。

The 老兵纪念碑 is a beautiful tribute to all local veterans who "did what they had to do." 它将提醒子孙后代，所有那些为保护我们的自由而献出生命的勇敢的男男女女。 The Memorial's slogan, "Freedom Is Not Free", takes on a more powerful meaning with your visit which provides a place for quiet reflection on those who fought and those who continue to fight for our freedom.
