Greenwood Veterans' Memorial Park grew from Floyd "Red" Clark's idea for a memorial, begun in 2005, that was first intended to honor residents of the Wilson area who served in World War II but was expanded during construction to include all who served from the Wilson area. The park flies flags for each branch of service along with a large American flag, and its wall bears over 2,500 names honoring the men and women who served the nation. In 2012, the Clark family gave the land to the town of Wilson, and American Legion Martin F. Jennings Post #836 tends the wall, flags, and maintenance while hosting a ceremony there every Memorial Day at 10 A.M.
