ORANGE CITY VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK

The Veterans Memorial Park in Orange City, Iowa, stands out from many memorials as it lists wars and conflicts people have forgotten about or heard about. Names of the Veterans from the Orange City Area who have died or served are listed in six marble pillars according to the wars or conflicts they were in and the branch of service in which they served.

Created in 2006, this memorial, honors the selfless service of our Veterans. One of the pillars are inscribed with the Veteran’s Prayer Bible verse from John 13:15 – “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
