Facilities

The All Veterans Memorial, constructed in 1991, includes a major walkway with individual monuments lining it. The Memorial itself consists of a circular walkway around the World War II-era tank, with individual Memorials commemorating military actions of the United States Armed Forces. This memorial was the first in the nation to honor Desert Storm. A special Medal of Honor memorial for Sgt. Grant F. Timmerman, an Emporia native, is also located there. In the fall of 1999, a UH-1H Huey Helicopter was placed on the grounds of the memorial.
