“The new Oregon Fallen War Heroes Memorial in Central Point will honor the 5800 Oregonians who have died in action while serving our state and nation in the armed forces.
For these men and women, freedom was not free—each paid the price with his or her life. This memorial will help us remember always those who made the ultimate sacrifice.” said Rep. Richardson; he went on to say, “This special Veterans Day ceremony will honor our veterans, our troops presently serving, and those who died in action. The Oregon Fallen War Heroes Memorial is dedicated to them. We invite everyone, especially families with youth and children, to come spend an hour on Veterans Day, attend this historic event, and pay a lasting tribute to Oregon’s veterans.”

The ¼ acre memorial has 8 individual monuments honoring each branch of the military service, and the Order of the Purple Heart. The names of Oregon’s 5,800 “fallen heroes” from every war since statehood are inscribed on the monuments. In the center is a pedestal displaying a pair of bronze American Eagles, plus an inner-ring of flags, one for each military branch. A large, lighted American flag will wave proudly in the memorial’s center. The courtyard of flags is paved with memorial bricks engraved with names of loved ones and key memorial supporters. In addition to the monuments, flags and walkways, the memorial is professionally landscaped with grass, plants, flowers and trees. At the end of the memorial a covered pavilion provides shelter for those who come to sit, ponder and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the memorial park.
