Soldiers Field Rochester, MN: Remembrance & Memorial

Built in 1995, Soldier Field Veterans Memorial is a place to honor, reflect and remember all Americans who valiantly fought for our country's freedom. Over time it has expanded to encompass The Wall of Remembrance, which commemorates over 3,000 service men and women from Southeast Minnesota who gave their lives in service to their country. The Walk of Remembrance is made up of about 6,000 pavers honoring US Veterans and Allies living or dead for their service. The Trees of Remembrance represent each of the 50 states in the United States. Today, this memorial serves as a place of hope and a reminder to future generations of the heroes from the past, present, and future.
