Four years of planning and design culminated on Memorial Day 2010, when The City of Murrieta unveiled the first phase of the Veteran's Memorial in Murrieta Town Square Park. The event was attended by over 800 Murrieta citizens. The first phase of the Veterans Memorial (shown in a blue glow below)
includes a 25' high black granite pentagonal obelisk with bronze medallions of each branch of the service with a granite flag draped reverently over the top and the WWII Veteran's Memorial Wall also made of black granite etched with photos of Veteran's from that conflict. On hand for the unveiling ceremony were many dignitaries including Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth, and Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone.
