The Veteran’s Memorial is hosted in the UAW-Ford Joint Trusts Center in downtown Detroit.
UAW is United Automobile Workers in America.
There is also a statue of Abraham Lincoln who was the president of the US during its Civil War.
As I walked around the accessible park around the statue during June 2025, I also saw an impressive Eagle made in bronze mounted on the wall.
The motto of the US e pluribus unum was engraved on it.
It means out of many, one.
Information about the artists and donors of the Abraham Lincoln statue was also found inscribed on a granite slab.
History of the memorial building is also inscribed on a metal plate on its walls.
It was a delightful experience walking around the memorial.
On the north side was the iconic GM and Ford Global Headquarters building.
Panning to the left was the glorious skyline of Detroit.
When I watched my steps, I could not resist nothing the amazing geometric patterns on the manhole covers. I find these fascinating. They are similar to the one found in Pune and also are equally dusty 
On the tour of the Veteran’s Center, I will leave you with this thought:
Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.
