The Memorial features a prominent granite colonnade structure around which are granite pavers and park benches that lead into Minuteman Park. The five columns in the colonnade represent each branch of the military. The Memorial honors the 1.3 million and counting Connecticut residents who have defended and continue to defend and serve our nation.
