Honoring, remembering, saluting... St. Cloud Area Veterans Memorials

Veteran’s Day is November 11th every year, but honoring those who have served is a commitment that should be made all year. Greater St. Cloud is home to several veteran memorials and monuments, honoring those who have served in many different conflicts throughout history. Show your appreciation to those serving and honor the fallen by visiting one or more of these sites.

Berlin Airlift & USS Bon Homme Richard Memorial

This honors those who served on the Berlin Airlift from 1948 to 1949, as well as those who served on the USS Bon Homme Richard – which was the only airlift carrier that served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The monuments are situated on a concrete plaza under the American Flag, which makes it a perfect, peaceful place for remembrance and reflection.

Falls of our Fallen Memorial

This stoic, powerful memorial features a two and a half story waterfall, constructed with 220 tons of granite that circulates 1,000 gallons of water per minute. It is dedicated to military veterans, as well as law enforcement officers and fire fighters who have served and sacrificed for their communities and country.

Vietnam War Memorial

Dedicated to the Vietnamese and American soldiers who died in the fight for freedom in Vietnam, it features the United States and Vietnam flags, floral arrangements and other landscaping, as well as a lasered image of soldiers that is lit up by evening. It is the perfect place for a peaceful reprieve after a stroll around Lake George and a beautiful way to remember those who have served.
