Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Alaskan War Veterans Memorial is located inside the 325,240-acre Denali State Park and was constructed in 1983 to honor the state’s Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast and Alaska National Guard, and Merchant Marine veterans, including a number of state residents who were awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor. The site for the memorial was selected due to its even proximity between Fairbanks and Anchorage and showcases five 20-foot concrete panels arranged in a semi-circle, representing each branch of the United States military. A statue by Canadian artist George Pratt depicts Alaska Territorial Guards, and smaller memorials nearby honor the passengers of downed military planes within the state.
