Cerritos Veterans Memorial, Military memorial in Cerritos, United States.
The memorial features a 20-foot stainless steel sculpture shaped like a flame, positioned above a reflecting pool surrounded by five pedestals.
Dedicated in 2006, the memorial initiated the city's first Veterans Day ceremony and began hosting annual Memorial Day ceremonies starting in 2008.
The memorial includes emblems of five military branches - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard - along with recognition for World War service groups.
The memorial site remains accessible throughout the year within the Cerritos Civic Center grounds, offering free entry to all visitors.
A separate pedestal displays the Merchant Marine emblem, added after community discussions led to a compromise during the memorial's planning phase.
