Location:
Sugar Land Memorial Park
The memorial features an obelisk with five concrete walls. The five walls symbolize the five branches of the military. The unique design allows light to shine and illuminate these names of local soldiers that have given the ultimate sacrifice. To reach this distinctive monument, you must first walk through a symbolic concrete entry way and cross over a bridge to a peninsula, where the obelisk is located. Visitors are then able to walk within the memorial and experience the incredible design that allows the sunlight to reflect through the openings.
