Honoring the Brave: Exploring the Most Visited Memorials in Indianapolis

Indianapolis is a city that honors the brave men and women who have served in the military. From the Soldiers Memorial & Sailors to the Medal of Honor Memorial, these monuments are a testament to the courage and sacrifice of those who have fought for our freedom. The Soldiers Memorial & Sailors is Indiana's official monument to those who served in the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Border Wars, and the Spanish-American War. It is located on the east bank of the Central Canal and is a fitting tribute to these veterans.

The Indiana World War Memorial & Museum is an impressive monument that pays homage to World War II. It is much larger than other memorials in Indianapolis, reflecting the size and scale of this conflict. The concave side of this memorial displays letters from World War II veterans from Indiana and details about operations carried out during the war. The convex side honors Hoosier Medal of Honor winners and outstanding units from the city.

The Medal of Honor Memorial was created by RoamWorks artists Eric Fulford and Ann Reed. This series of 27 curved glass walls honors 3,456 Medal of Honor winners who represent 15 different conflicts. Every nightfall, it plays recorded stories of medal winners or the conflicts they fought in. Veterans Memorial Square is located in the seven-block Indiana Veterans Memorial District.

This small monument is just 2 feet tall and 5 feet wide and is engraved with both a history of its collapse on one side and names of all those who served on the other. The American Legion Mall is home to two semi-cylindrical monuments dedicated to Korea and Vietnam veterans. Installed in 1996, these monuments are part of a larger memorial district that pays tribute to those who have served in all branches of the military.
