Moore Veterans Memorial - City of Moore

Moore Veterans Memorial

The City of Moore funded the construction of a memorial to honor America's veterans and their families. The City renamed JD Estates Park to Veterans Memorial Park (1900 SE 4th Street) and at the entrance to that park is the memorial.

The main feature of the memorial is a 15' black, granite obelisk that has the following inscription on it "May this hallowed ground honor the sacrifice of America's finest veterans, civilians, and their families- past, present, and future. We will never forget."  Another major feature of the memorial are five black, granite tablets with the seal of the five branchs of the service. At the center of the memorial is a flag plaza with a 30' foot pole for the American flag and two 25' poles for the Oklahoma flag and the POW/MIA flag. The flag plaza is surrounded by a polished concrete walking area with a stained 5-pointed star stretching the entire width and height of the walking area.  The memorial also features beautiful landscaping. Lighting was installed so visitors may enjoy the memorial at night.

Phase II of Veterans Memorial Is Complete 

A committee was formed to plan the second phase of the Moore Veterans Memorial. A campaign to sell bricks to be placed in the memorial was completed in early 2009. The response from the community was fantastic. Over 190 bricks were purchased by supporters from the community and surrounding areas. The bricks were placed in the Memorial wall/sitting area in late May.  A cast stone bench caps the wall. The purchase of a brick supported the phase II portion of the Moore Veterans Memorial.
