Veterans Memorial, Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma Veterans Memorial sits on the Oklahoma State Capitol grounds. One of the most noteworthy sights at the memorial is "The Big Guy," a statue measuring eight feet tall. This statue is of a Native American man wearing the gear of a soldier who fought in Vietnam.

A wall behind The Big Guy has four walls representing both World Wars, as well as Korea and Vietnam. The back of each panel lists the names of the military members from Oklahoma that died in each war. There is also a memorial to the USS Oklahoma that honors the service members who died at Pearl Harbor.

Flags for each branch of the service fly at the memorial, with the American flag having the place of honor in the center. There is an "Eternal Flame" across from the Big Guy serving as an eternal reminder of fallen military members. Visitors will feel a sense of awe at the impact of the memorial.
