The Golden Triangle is an area of Southeast Texas between Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange on the Texas/Louisiana border. It derives its name from the economic boost it got from the significant oil strike there in 1901. The Veterans Memorial Park is at the southern tip of the triangle.

Besides the static military equipment displays, the park contains 10,000 names of Golden Triangle servicemen that served in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, peacetime, Desert Storm, and with the Merchant Marines during WWII. The 50-foot Tower of Honor lists the names, rank, branch of service, and war served of the 930 of those killed or missing in action.

Static displays include an F4-D Phantom Jet, an M60A3 Tank, an UH-1 Huey Helicopter, an anchor from the Texaco SS Mississippi (the last WWII Merchant Marine ship to be decommissioned), an assault landing craft, and an oversize bronze Marine soldier.
