Military
Plymouth Community Veterans Memorial Park honors all who served in the United States military throughout its history. Its Veterans Memorial Plaza includes black granite tablets for major military conflicts involving the nation, with tablet size representing the number of casualties suffered and etchings reflecting those who served in each era. Red granite pavers in the large circular plaza represent Plymouth community service members killed in action, while engraved gray pavers represent veterans, and the walks leading to the plaza contain red pavers engraved with contributors' names. The flags of the nation, the state, and POW/MIA fly on the adjoining plaza above symbols of the five military branches. Up the hill and to the left stands a granite figure of a lady, an early monument to those who served in the Civil War, a conflict to whose battlefields the Plymouth community sent a significant number of soldiers. The park also includes other early Plymouth monuments dedicated to veterans of the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The park was dedicated July 4, 2006, and it incorporates earlier Plymouth memorials including a Civil War monument dedicated in Kellogg Park in 1917, a Spanish-American War cannon originally located in Kellogg Park near Main and Penniman, a World War I monument dedicated on Memorial Day 1940 and originally located on school grounds at Main and Church, the Rock dedicated on Memorial Day 1935 and originally located in the center of Kellogg Park to honor veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World Wars I and II, and a Korea/Viet Nam memorial dedicated in 1989 that was first in Kellogg Park and then at the northeast corner of Union Street and Ann Arbor Trail.
