This is the Conway County Courthouse in Morrilton. As you can see there are several monuments on the lawn. Since I started visiting these memorials, I have not seen another city with as many Monuments in one spot. A plaque for the heroes and victims of the 9-11 attack is at the Morrilton Library (see yesterdays post). Even with that said, I could not find a monument for the Persian Gulf War or the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is known as the Global War on Terror.
This is a monument to all the Armed Forces.
