The Cleveland County Veterans Memorial was dedicated to service men and women who have served in our nation's military with ties to said county on November 11, 2008. It represents some seven years of effort to recognize those from Cleveland County brave enough to fight for this country. Located on the Southwest corner of Reaves park at 2501 Jenkins Ave., the granite memorial is recognizable by it's stone pillar adorned with a bronze eagle carrying the United States flag. This centerpiece bears the names of those veterans who have lost their lives in service, while all other veterans' names are engraved into the numerous granite plaques which describe the walls of the memorial. Some of these plaques remain smooth, awaiting the engraving of future veterans' names. Development began in fall 2001 with veterans meeting with city officials to select a site for the memorial. It's location on the grounds of a former World War II installation was finalized by the approval of the Norman City Council on September 10, 2002. The installation, a Naval Air Technical Training Center, was active from 1942 to 1947 and later reactivated from 1952 to 1959. It has been estimated that some 115,000 personnel were trained during these two periods. Three years after it's commencement, the Cleveland County Veterans Memorial remains a beautiful show of thanks to our local veterans.
