Directions: 3200 NW Byron, Silverdale WA
In 2004 the Kitsap County Veteran's Memorial was dedicated in a ceremony that included speeches, color guards and the raising of the United States flag along with the POW/MIA flag and the service flags of each branch of the military.
I found the original program of the ceremony on the Kitsap County Veterans Memorial web site and found it to be very interesting. I wasn't living in the area during 2004 and so was unable to enjoy this very impressive ceremony. I have however, been to the memorial on a few occasions and find it to be one that is very peaceful and inspiring. I guess that is because it is on the waterfront. Something about paying respect to those who have served our Nation in such a setting is very calming.
The Kitsap County Veterans Memorial is located adjacent to Silverdale Waterfront Park next to the gazebo area right down on the shore. Here is a video I recorded on July 11th.
