Description:
Veterans Memorial Plaza in Dubuque, Iowa, is a tribute to all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, featuring a curved wall honoring military branches and conflicts, a six-ton granite globe, and personalized pavers. Opened in 2009 and expanded in 2021 with a $3.2 million renovation, the plaza now includes the "Skyward" sculpture—a 24-foot stainless steel spiral honoring Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt, who perished during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Located on Chaplain Schmitt Island, the plaza offers visitors a serene space for reflection and remembrance.
