20th Century Veterans Memorial & Law Enforcement Memorial
1 Hour
The busy crossroads of the Eisenhower Memorial Interstate System, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Highway, is the perfect location for this 20th Century Veterans Memorial. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard as well as the volunteers of the North Platte Canteen are memorialized by bronze statues. The five major conflicts of the 20th century from World War I to the first Iraq War are depicted in a 15-foot tall brick bas-relief mural. Also located here is the Lincoln County Law Enforcement Memorial which pays tribute to those officers that gave their lives in the line of the duty.
