The Veterans Memorial, located in Battle Ground’s Kiwanis Park was dedicated Nov. 11, 2015. The names of 31 honored veterans, local Battle Ground service members who died in service to our country, are engraved on its walls. The memorial was fully funded by donations, evidence of the community’s steadfast commitment to honoring those who died protecting our freedom and those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Funds raised at the Country Shindig & Dance will be used for maintenance of the memorial and for events honoring veterans. Learn more about the Battle Ground Veterans Memorial at www.cityofbg.org/veteransmemorial.
