TERRA was retained for the design and construction of a fitting memorial to honor Peoria County’s veterans of the Korean War to the present, as well as any possible future conflicts. This memorial honors all Peoria County Veterans who have served in the United States military during the Korean War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Persian Gulf, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terrorism. In addition, this memorial honors the 106 Peoria County veterans who lost their lives in Korea and Vietnam by listing their names on the memorial panels.

The design fits into the existing landscape and compliments the surrounding area. This is a place for visitors to reflect and reconnect with history and provides a quiet place of peace and serenity offering a fitting tribute to the citizens of Peoria we wish to honor.
