This is just half of the wall, the other half wraps around to the left.
The Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Cedar City is in honor of the men and women who served their country during the following wars…
WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Iraq/Afganistan...
Iraq/Afghanistan-The War in Afghanistan started in October of 2001 in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. It has become the longest war waged in U.S. history. The United States and NATO officially ended their operations in Afghanistan in 2014. The thirteen year war had been the longest in United States history. However, in many ways the war was not over. The Taliban were still a strong presence in the country and U.S. troops were still helping the Afghanistan government battle the Taliban as of 2015. As of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The one commonality of this series is the too many names on the memorials. Sobering. L/F
