Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Wall
The City of Jacksonville is home to the nation's second largest Veterans Memorial Wall, second only to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.
The Veterans Memorial Wall is located at 1145 East Adams Street, adjacent to TIAA Bank Field in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The quarter-million dollar monument was dedicated in November, 1995 and serves as a tribute to more than 1,700 Jacksonville area American war heroes. The outdoor memorial was promoted as “the largest of its kind” and “the only wall that honors Veterans from all seven [service] branches” (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine). The Veterans Memorial is now the second largest memorial wall in the United States, second only to the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Washington, D.C. The 65 foot-long black granite monument contains the names of servicemen and women from World War I through the War on Terror. In front of the wall stands a torch with an eternal flame. The wall was rededicated on its 20 year anniversary in November, 2015.
Each year, on Memorial Day, thousands of Gold Star families, Veterans, local military leadership, elected officials and citizens honor the fallen heroes whose names are permanently inscribed on the Wall and add the names of those that have fallen in the defense of freedom over the previous year. All those named on the Wall perished during a time of declared war and listed Jacksonville, FL as their home of record or graduated from a local High School.
Members of the public are permitted to nominate veterans for inclusion on the Veterans Memorial Wall subject to confirmation by the Military Affairs and Veterans Department. To be eligible for nomination and consideration, the veteran being nominated must meet the following criteria:
The deceased was on active duty military at the time of death; and
Duval County was the legal residence of the deceased-- using same criteria as Supervisor of Elections, Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, or Tax Collector; or the deceased attended a Duval County high school; and
The death of the deceased occurred while the United States was involved in a declared war; and
The cause of death for the individual to be added to the Veterans Memorial Wall cannot have occurred during the commission of a felony
