JVn honor of our veterans, each Memorial Day and <br />eterans Day are set aside to pay tribute to those who put <br />their lives on the line for our freedom. You will find all the <br />service flags flying 24/7 365 days a year. <br />The Red River Valley Veterans Memorial is a place for <br />reflection, remembrance and gratitude. It is our hope that this <br />will also be a place to educate present and future generations <br />of the sacrifice made by members of their own family and <br />their community to secure the freedoms that we all enjoy. <br />And may it -be a reminder that "Freedom is not Free." <br />This impressive memorial is located next to the Eiffel <br />Tower near Love Civic Center. The memorial's centerpiece is <br />the Ring of Honor, an elevated ring of granite walls containing <br />the names of all the men and women from the five county <br />Red River Valley area that made the ultimate sacrifice. <br />Surrounding the Ring of Honor are granite Conflict Walls, <br />etched with information and graphic depictions of each war <br />or conflict. <br />There are over 2,500 granite V x 2' pavers that honors all <br />veterans no matter where they live. There are 51 Family <br />Benches, 18 Ornamental Tree Pavers and 97 Specialty Pavers <br />installed at the memorial. <br />Two bronze statues with murals have been installed to <br />honor Gold Star Families and War Dogs and their Handlers. <br />We have a computer Kiosk that is used for visitors to fill <br />out our Guestbook and used to find friend or family members <br />that have their names engraved at the memorial. <br />The last phase includes more Family Benches, Veteran <br />Pavers, Choctaw Code Talker Monument and static displays. <br />In 2023 an AH1 P Cobra Attack Helicopter built in 1977, an <br />M115 8" Towed Howitzer from 1944, 1952 M115 Deuce and a <br />Half, and a 1970's era M113 Al Armored Personnel Carrier <br />(APC) was installed. <br />Red River Valley Veterans Memorial <br />2035 South Collegiate Drive <br />Paris, Texas 75460-6309 <br />(903) 783-0945 <br />Email:Office@rrvvm.org <br />rwym.arg/purchas"aver rrvvm.or" Facebook <br />Orm <br />War Dog Monument <br />I i1oft", <br />Gold Star Monument <br />Computer Kiosk <br />Ring of Honor School Tours <br />
