Wall of Wars
Over the years, the veterans of this country, along with their families have protected us time and again so that we may live as free people in this country we love. The veterans alive today understand the sacrifices they have made – and they understand, honor, and respect the sacrifices of those that served before them. There, in Northport, at the Medical Center, exists a place of tranquility and safety for our veterans - and for all visitors – to reflect on these sacrifices and our nation’s great history. In 2009, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Garden was constructed. Building upon this Memorial Garden and a stage and patio was added in 2011…and now it is time to add the third and final phase of this project: “The Wall of Wars”.
Spanning from the American Revolution, to today’s global War on Terror, the Wall will include
twelve granite monuments that each depict a period of history in America Veterans, their families and friends, and visitors of all ages will be able to walk among the monuments and reflect on the history of this country and those that have served, sacrificed, and died for the protection of our freedom.
Imagine the veterans visiting, healing, and living at the Medical Center having a place to sit and quietly reflect on what they and those before them have achieved. Imagine the therapeutic effects of sharing these reflections with their fellow service members, or their children and grandchildren. The Wall of Wars will become a place to honor, remember, and educate. In time, we plan to add features such as audio narratives and smart phone applications to enhance the visitors experience and highlight the contributions of brave Americans.
