The University Place Veterans Memorial is a tribute to the service and sacrifice of all United States Veterans. Located in University Place, Washington, the memorial is a place of remembrance and reflection for all who have served. The memorial consists of a memorial park and a sculpture of three soldiers standing in formation. The soldiers are depicted in full military dress and are a reminder of those who have served.

The memorial park is surrounded by a brick wall with a granite base and a granite walkway leading to a stone platform. On the platform is a bronze plaque with a quote from General Douglas MacArthur, which reads “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” The memorial also features a granite fountain and benches, as well as a flagpole with the American flag, the Washington state flag, and the POW/MIA flag.

The sculpture of the three soldiers was created by local artist and Vietnam veteran, David Lee. The sculpture is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of all veterans, and the granite walkway leading to the sculpture is inscribed with the names of the fallen heroes of University Place.
