The Johnson County Armory and Veterans Memorial provides an opportunity for community members to honor their loved ones who served in the United States Armed Forces with a permanent, engraved tribute.

Since its dedication on Veterans Day in 2013, the Armory and Veterans Memorial has become a permanent and deeply meaningful site of remembrance. Located outside the Johnson County Administration Building, 913 S. Dubuque Street in Iowa City, members of the public are welcome to visit the memorial, where more than 1,000 veterans have been recognized through engraved inscriptions on black granite panels that form the centerpiece of the site.

Engraved inscriptions are available for $200 and are not limited to Johnson County residents.

Veterans from any location and branch of service are eligible to be recognized, as well as those still serving today.

Order forms, memorial history, veteran biographies, and additional details about the recognition process can be found at www.johnsoncountyiowa.gov/memorial.
