Kenoshans have fought and died in seven wars, leaving a legacy of courage and devotion and a selfless contribution to the survival of the nation as a free country. A boulder came from a World War II battle area near the city of Naha, Okinawa, and sand came from the Omaha and Utah Beaches of Normandy, France. The stone and sand symbolize the worldwide battlegrounds of all wars where Americans have died. It was erected by the people of Greater Kenosha, with guidance from the Veterans Council of Kenosha County Memorial Committee Inc., and dedicated on the 7th day of November in the year of the American Revolution Bicentennial, 1976.
