What are the Best Military Monuments that You've Seen? Share a Picture?

The cemetery at Omaha Beach. Standing there look over the grave stones with the English Channel in the distance moves one all the way to their core.

Victory Gate of Triumph (Das Siegestor ist ein Triumphbogen) in Munich, Germany. The monument is a reminder for peace. The inscription on the back "Dem Sieg geweiht, vom Krieg zerstört, zum Frieden mahnend", "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, urging peace".

This is the only memorial in the world dedicated to the United States Navy Seals. It is located just outside of Ft. Pierce, FL. The names of all Underwater Demolition Team members—the "Frogmen" of World War II and modern Navy SEALs—who have died in the service of the country are carved into black, granite panels on the walls surrounding the sculpture and its reflecting pool.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Keeping my promise to post the memorials I have visited.

Sort of a knock off a picture already posted here...but these two are my favorites. Speaks volumes in my opinion

Sorry, guys, but I don't have the pictures with me at the moment. It's both the monuments (and there are two since two American flags were placed there) on Mount Suribachi where the Marines and the one HM planted Old Glory. And yes... I have been there... I have done that.

Valley Forge National Monument. . The birthplace of our Army and Corp of noncommisioned officers! Hallowed ground.

This is a monument I found on one of my road trips in Thailand. This is apart of a temple complex dedicated to all the Thai soldiers who lost their lives fighting the Maoist insurgency in the north-east of Thailand, and the current insurgency in the far south of Thailand.

I was never involved in a war/operation/campaign/conflict. I pray I will never have to be. However, these monuments stand as poignant testaments to the ultimate price of the freedoms, rights, and privileges so many take for granted. These effigies serve as a constant reminder that the blood of countless fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters, was and continues to be shed, and lives were lost, to maintain the society, culture, and way of life as we know it. No, I may not have participated in anything grand or heroic, but I give my unwavering respect to those who have and who still carry the heavy burden of scars seen and unseen. My service was uneventful but honorable, and it is my hope that during that time, I touched a fellow servicemember in a positive way.
