Allen Veterans Memorial
The Allen Veterans Memorial, 1201 E. Bethany Drive, is located within the beautiful backdrop of Bethany Lakes Park. The memorial honors past and present members of all branches of the United States Armed Forces with five 18-foot granite monoliths surrounding a 65-foot American flag pole with bench seating.
Memorial bricks are added to the site twice a year just prior to Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. More information about the memorial is available at www.allenveteransmemorial.org.
