Located inside Veterans Memorial Park, Bettendorf’s Veterans Memorial is a lasting tribute to those in the community who have served our country or who are on active duty. The design features two pentagons that surround the American flag. The inner ring represents the five branches of service and the outer pillars of black granite have the names of hundreds of service men and women.
