“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Three flagpoles rise above the memorial. Five inscribed granite pedestals stand at the center, surrounded by hundreds of paver bricks — each one carrying a name, a story, a legacy. A tribute honors our POW/MIAs. Two benches and two picnic tables offer places to pause. Blue Star and Gold Star Memorial Highway markers stand in recognition of families who have borne the cost of service. And at the heart of it all rests the solemn Battlefield Cross.

A place built to honor service, sacrifice, and the quiet courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.

The David Dewett Veterans Memorial Wayside offers a space of reflection for travelers, families, and community members. Here, the elements of the memorial come together to form a living testament — shaped by community devotion and carried forward by all who visit.

Whether you stop for a moment or stay awhile, may this place offer you gratitude, grounding, and connection. May it remind you of the lives behind the freedoms we move within, and of the enduring legacy of those who served.
