The park honors past, present and future residents of McKenzie County who honorably served our country in the Armed Forces. Through donations from Fulkersons Funeral Home and Carl E Rogen Post 29 of the American Legion, the cost of adding veterans’ names is only $75. Coordinate with the McKenzie County Veterans Service Office to get names added or to donate to the park fund.
