The eight-sided pylon at the center of the memorial
extends the basic octagon design across the entire mall areas, honoring
the past and present service of all branches of the Armed Forces as
well as Police and Firefighters. Thus emblems of all the military and
domestic services are prominently displayed.

In
keeping with the memorial theme, three flags – American flag, POW/MIA
flag, and Indiana State flag – offer symbolic witness to the
scope and
depth of our continuing gratitude.
The inner and outer malls are barrier free to
allow room for
wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, and strolling visitors to pass
comfortably.

The Veterans Memorial is situated prominently at the
entrance of Freedom Park. It is
maintained and cared for by local veterans
organizations. The
landscape and grounds are maintained by the Greenwood Parks Department.
