The West Valley Veterans Memorial is located on the campus of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The memorial, dedicated in 2003, pays tribute to all war veterans, but in particular is a marker for the 190,000 Native American veterans.
Four 12,000-pound, 12-foot tall columns represent each branch of the military and plaques along the handrail list each of the wars or conflicts since WWII. There are eight flags, one each for the United States, Oregon, the tribe, POW/MIAs, the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines.
At its center are a native man and woman dressed in traditional clothing. The man carries a shield and a war club. She holds a feather to the sky.
