Guilford County Veterans’ Memorial

We are moving beyond the 20th century to honor veterans serving yesterday, today, and in the future. Meaningful new features include more space to add memorial bricks, new flag poles, a bronze battle cross sculpture, and the installation of a UH-1A "Huey" helicopter display. Together, we can go beyond. Let's improve and preserve this sacred space for generations to come.
Following recent storm damage, the Guilford County Veterans Memorial is undergoing an ambitious transformation—not only to restore what was lost, but to reimagine and elevate the site as a lasting tribute to those who’ve served and continue to serve.
This effort expands our mission beyond the 20th century to honor today's veterans and future generations through impactful new features. Planned enhancements include a striking UH-1A "Huey" helicopter installation, a bronze battle cross sculpture, seven prominent flagpoles representing each military branch, expanded space for engraved memorial bricks, interactive displays, and a revitalized layout that integrates both physical and digital tributes. With your help, we will preserve and improve this sacred space—ensuring it remains a powerful, evolving place of remembrance for decades to come.

Dedicated on Sept. 14, 2002, this privately-funded monument honors veterans past and present who served our nation. More than 1,200 personalized paver bricks honor members of the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines who wore the uniforms of our country and defended our freedoms.

The Guilford County Veterans’ Memorial is sustained through the purchase of personalized bricks, and generous tax-deductible donations of people who want to honor our service members. Bricks cost $250 and are tax deductible under this 501(c)(3) project. They are placed approximately two months after purchase.

Each brick is photographed, and can be viewed online through our searchable database.

The Guilford County Veterans’ Memorial sits on approximately one acre of professionally-landscaped ground in Country Park, one of Greensboro’s most popular places to enjoy. The site is a place for reflection, education, and thanks.

The Memorial is free and open to the public during park hours. Get directions to the park.
