The Military Memorial, located in Heritage Oaks Park, was built by the Tarleton Alumni Association and dedicated on May 29, 2001. The red granite cube rests in the center of a circular plaza and honors the men and women of Tarleton who served in the military during peace and war. A single gold dollar coin was placed in the center beneath the granite cube. The coin is facing heads up and is a 1999 issue to commemorate the university centennial.
