This is a bronze bas-relief, sculpted by Clydetta Fulmer, a little over 4-ft. tall, mounted on a 10-ft. tall freestanding limestone wall.  Dedicated in 1992, it was commissioned to honor all who have served in wars involving the United States.  It depicts a man and a woman walking and supporting an injured man between them. All are wearing combat fatigues.  

The Alaska Veterans Memorial is an outdoor memorial grove in Denali State Park in Interior Alaska. The memorial honors Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Alaska National Guard, and Merchant Marine veterans from Alaska, as well as specific Alaskans who were awarded the Medal of Honor. There are also small memorials to the passengers and crew of military plane crashes in Alaska. The site was selected because of the scenic beauty of the area and its location between Alaska's two largest cities. On a clear day visitors can see Denali from just outside the memorial. It is 147 miles (237 km) from Anchorage and 214 miles (344 km) from Fairbanks, on a hill above the Byers Lake campground. During the main visitor season (May–August) there is a staffed visitor center and bookstore. The main memorial alcove was constructed in 1983. Governor Bill Sheffield, himself a veteran, dedicated the site in 1984.

Designed by Fernando C. Navarro, this memorial consists of five black granite/marble slabs representing the military branches of service.  A pedestal has a bronze dedication plaque.  On the five slabs are etched dedication inscriptions and the insignias of the Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Army and Marines.  It was completed on November 10, 1989.

This bronze statue sculpted by Theo A.R. Kitsun depicts a World War I infantryman looking straight ahead, holding a rifle in front of himself with both hands.  It is approximately 9 feet tall.
