QuickTime | Real Media | Windows Media
No other monument in the United States is quite like the Veterans Memorial Walk, which opened in 2001 and honors all U.S. soldiers, past and present. A platoon of cast bronze boots is positioned as though marching. A solitary pair of boots is stationed at the foot of the POW/MIA flag, and eternal flame burns continously.
Each year, thousands of people visit the Walk, which is free and open to the public 24 hours a day. All are welcome.
Public ceremonies scheduled at the Walk include Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, POW/MIA Remembrance Day and Veterans Day.
Permission is required to reserve O’Fallon Veterans Memorial Walk for special occasions. To reserve the memorial or for more information, contact mseymour@ofallon.mo.us or call 636-379-5614.
