Veterans Wall of Honor

Take a moment to reflect at the Heritage Park Veterans Wall of Honor, a moving memorial dedicated to the men and women who have served and sacrificed in defense of the United States. Located atop a peaceful hill within Heritage Park in McDonough, the Wall of Honor invites visitors to learn about America’s military history while paying tribute to those who gave their lives for our nation’s freedom.

Dedicated on Veterans Day in 2008, the memorial was inspired by local resident Joanne Mulvaney’s desire to honor her World War II veteran father and all who have served in the Armed Forces. Today, the Wall of Honor remains a place of remembrance, education, and gratitude, welcoming visitors from across the country to reflect on the sacrifices made throughout American history.
