America's 20th Century Veterans Memorial

221 E 5th St, North Platte, Nebraska 69101 USA

Independent

“a very special commemoration of those men and women from the Nebraska area”

The monument is located in Iron Horse Park at a point where Interstate 80 crosses U.S. Highway 83 in North Platte, Nebraska (map). This prominent location and the easy access from these heavily used travel arteries make it convenient for thousands of interested individuals to pause for a commemorative moment at the Veterans' Memorial park. The Memorial Monument highlights: All of the Men and women who served before and during the Twentieth Century and those who serve now.Each branch of the armed forces of the United States.A graphic depiction of all of the armed conflicts of the Twentieth Century.A very special commemoration of those men and women from the Nebraska area who gave their lives for the winning of peace and the maintaining of peace during this highlighted Twentieth Century.A fitting recognition of those wonderful people who developed and served the Canteen that encouraged more than six million military men and women as they passed through North Platte on troup trains during World War II.

It was neat reading all the names of veterans from Nebraska and the stats from each war. The memorial is eight off the highway by a lake. The navigation in the app takes you to the wrong location. We had gotten an area sightseeing map from our hotel lobby and it was listed on there.

Nice place to stop and stretch your legs. Also close to walking trails good for people and dogs. The address on the Roadtrippers site is wrong. Don't use the navigation function or you end up in downtown. The memorial is in the SE corner of the interest room of 80 and 83 right next to Comfort Inn. Easy to find.

This was a great stop!! We enjoyed taking sometime and walking around. They were in the process of redoing the drainage and cleaning the blocks while we were there. But it was still very well done and clean. Worth getting off the highway and looking around at the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms.
