After thorough deliberation, the North Little Rock Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee selected the Laman Library plaza as the site for a memorial honoring military veterans.
Laman Library agreed to maintain the memorial, which will be located in the southeast corner of the plaza at the corner of Orange Street and Pershing Boulevard.
The committee broke ground on May 11 and hopes to have have the project completed by November 11 -- Veterans day.
The design subcommittee selected a design with a battlefield cross displayed atop a 5-foot tall pedestal, which is surrounded by nine granite pillars.
"All Gave Some / Some Gave All" will be the inscription on the Veterans Memorial which will honor all North Little Rock Veterans with special recognition given to all armed service personnel from the city who were “killed in action” in service to our country. Names of those individuals will be etched in granite on the memorial. To submit a name to be engraved on the pillars, click here. (Engraved names are only veterans from North Little Rock who were killed in action.)
