Paying tribute to over 6200 veterans from 35 East Tennessee counties who lost their lives serving for the military since the beginning of World War I, the monument has 32 granite pylons that are 9 feet high.

Each pylon contains 220 names of the people who lost their lives.

A 27-foot high bell tower that bears the Four Essential Freedoms on the four sides of the tower, is another one of the features of the memorial.

America’s war history is kept alive through the monument and when in Knoxville, take a walk around the place to pay respect to all the veterans.
