HEALING & WELLNESS

The Memorials aren't there to help us remember, those of us who know or were there don't need help with that. This is a place to go and process those memories, and for others to learn from them.

The American Tradition of Honor and Duty

The traditions of military service and defense of the nation have been the pillars of Pensacola and the surrounding communities since their inception. The values of excellence, sacrifice, duty, and valor shine through the culture of our civilian population as much as our military personnel. This park is dedicated to the memories of those who lost their lives or were wounded in the defense of this nation, and stands as a place of healing for those whose souls are forever injured by those memories.
