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-1M "Huey" helicopter display. Together, we can go beyond. Let's improve and preserve this sacred space for generations 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.
