Monument "A Final Salute"

Many Peoria County citizens gave their lives in defense of freedom in numerous conflicts since World War II. A Final Salute honors veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Gulf, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terrorism, as well as any future conflicts - completing the War Memorial Project. The memorial provides a beautiful place to remember our loved ones, as well as historical education for generations to come.

A Final Salute was dedicated in October 2018. The keynote speaker was Retired Lieutenant Colonel Harold A. (Hal) Fritz, US Army Vietnam Veteran and Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient.
