Alachua County Veteran's Memorial
The veteran community, of Alachua County, takes great pride in our memorial to veterans. Dedicate in 1993 the memorial presents a "Walk Through Time" from 1775 to 1993. Each tile block on the walkway represents one year, each brick on the individual monuments represents 1000 deaths. Two hundred sixty-seven names of deceased veterans who entered military service from this county are inscribed on main concourse edifices. Granite headstones at the flagpole end of the concourse reflect names of five hundred four University of Florida students who died as a result of our nation�s wars. We encourage you to stop by for a visit (corner of SW 75th St and SW 41st Pl)
In addition there are over 15 separate memorials, located throughout the county, dedicated to those who have proudly served our country. For a complete listing of all county veteran memorials contact the County Veterans Office at 352-264-6740.
