Spanish American War, World War I, World War II,

Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm

Following the American Civil War, the United States emergence on the World scene was profound, if not inevitable.

The citizens of Knox County have been summoned on numerous occasions to answer their country’s need to fill the ranks of its armed services in conflicts throughout the world. These monuments before you are dedicated to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the hope and belief that the basic rights and freedoms outlined in the fundamental documents depicted here would be preserved and enjoyed by all citizens.

Many others have also died in times of peace in the service to this nation. Soldiering is inherently dangerous, be at war or peace. We honor them as well.
