Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial, Military memorial in Northwood Community Park, Irvine, United States.
The Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial is a monument in Irvine featuring five granite pedestals inscribed with names of military personnel. The structure stands in a community park setting designed for public access and contemplation.
The memorial was established in 2010 and grew from informal postings into a permanent installation. It became the first official tribute in the area dedicated specifically to those lost in Afghanistan and Iraq operations.
The site becomes a gathering place during commemorative days like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and September 11, when visitors and residents come to pay respects together. These regular observances shape how people in the community relate to the memorial as a shared space for remembrance.
The memorial is located at 4531 Bryan Avenue and features wheelchair accessibility for all visitors. It remains open year-round without requiring advance reservations or scheduled entry times.
The inscriptions are continuously updated to document every name of American service members lost in both conflicts. This ongoing maintenance makes the site function as a living record rather than a static memorial.
