The Parade Ground is centered on the axis of the Amphitheater and the Memorial Rose Garden.
Adjacent to the place of The Fallen Friend, the Parade Ground is ideal for military ceremonies, marching bands, public gatherings and even helicopter displays. The memorials adjacent to the Parade Ground offer unique places to recall experiences common to many veterans: The Call, The Preparation, The Battle, The Conversation, The Word From Home, The Fallen Friend, and The Homecoming.
