Years of diligent planning resulted in a detailed Strategic Plan, which laid the groundwork for the Memorial’s construction. More than just a monument, the Memorial is set to become an integral hub of service for veterans and their families, providing support, benefits, and a venue for commemorative events. It is also intended to serve as an educational resource and a tourist destination, further enriching Cobb County’s historical landscape, which includes landmarks like the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield and the Marietta National Cemetery.
