Fallen Warriors Monument dedication planned for Memorial Day

The dedication ceremony for the Alabama Fallen Warriors Monument is planned for Memorial Day, May 29, in Trussville. 

It will begin at 2 p.m. The monument, located in Trussville Veterans Park on Parkway Drive, will include all the 226 Alabama service members that have died since 9/11 during the Global War on Terror.

According to the Alabama Fallen Warriors Project, 115 service members have been killed in action and 111 died a non-hostile death. 

Construction on the monument began in August 2022 after supply chain issues and plan revisions postponed the project from an initial completion goal of Memorial Day 2022. The project was first approved in November 2021, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held a month later.
