Field of Honor Veterans Memorial

Using a pentagon theme, the Field of Honor is built around a 32 foot flag pole which is illuminated from dusk to dawn. The Field of Honor is further enhanced through the use of a series of descriptive monolith (monuments) which honor veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War. Flowers, shrubs and vast lawn area surround the Field of Honor in greenery and represent the peace and freedom our veterans have fought to preserve. The two 25 foot flag poles (Prisoner of War/Missing in Action and the State of Wisconsin) at the entrance to the memorial also compliment the setting. Located next to Black River Area Chamber of Commerce, 120 N. Water Street, Black River Falls.
