Alaska Veterans Memorial, Military memorial in Denali State Park, United States.
The memorial features five concrete panels measuring 20 feet in height, each representing different military branches: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard.
Governor Bill Sheffield dedicated the main memorial section in 1984, following its construction in 1983 to honor veterans who served in various military branches.
The entrance displays a detailed statue created by Canadian sculptor George Pratt depicting two Alaska Territorial Guards maintaining constant watch over the grounds.
Located at mile 147.1 on the Parks Highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks, the memorial includes a visitor center, restrooms, and several walking trails.
Each concrete panel contains specific historical information about the contributions of its represented military branch to Alaska's development and defense.
