Created By: The Heritage Center of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County
Murfreesboro’s Veterans’ Memorial was originally dedicated on Memorial Day 1948 to honor local residents who had been killed in the first and second World Wars. In 1977, an addition was made to either side of the earlier memorial to honor those killed in the Korean and Vietnam wars. In 2007, an addition was engraved under the Korean War section to commemorate those killed in the Iraq War. For 25 years, the veterans’ memorial on the square has been the location of Murfreesboro’s Veterans’ Day memorial service.
