Adjacent to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Veterans Memorial Wall is a quarter-million dollar monument that was dedicated to more than 1,500 war heroes in 1995. It is 65 feet long and made of black granite. Veterans from World War 1 all the way through to Operation Desert Storm and current middle-eastern conflicts are honored here. An eternal flame stands in the front of the monument, where Jacksonville’s Memorial Day Ceremony takes place. At the ceremony, any fallen soldiers from the year past are honored by having their names added to the site. Since the monuments completion, tremendous measures were made to ensure its preservation when the destruction of the nearby Veterans Memorial Coliseum took place. This type of respect and dedication is the only reason needed to stop by this monument while en route to anywhere, really. Sadly, in 2005 additional panels were added to provide space for names of those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Veterans Memorial Wall is a solemn attraction in Jacksonville, but there’s no better place to honor the sacrifices of our servicemen. The first thing to know is that it doesn’t exclude anyone from the Jacksonville area who died in the line of duty. It’s a rare memorial that includes soldiers from every branch of the military and every conflict that the U.S. has had. Fittingly, it’s also quite large; it’s second only to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. in terms of size. It’s also free to visit and pay your respects. You can go anytime. There won’t be any scheduling conflicts during your trip. Drop by the Veterans Memorial Wall if you want to remember and respect American veterans. The wall might not be a flashy, state-of-the-art attraction in Jacksonville, but it still deserves a visit. Address: 1145 E Adams St, Jacksonville, FL 32202, United States
