Description and history


The garden was designed and built by a group of volunteers in 2005 to commemorate those killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Two plaques for the garden's Iraq–Afghanistan Memorial were unveiled in 2018; one describes the dog tags representing American service members killed during the wars,[1] and the other is a bronze poppy wreath commemorating British and Commonwealth service members who died.[2][3]


Reception


The Los Angeles Times called the memorial "a good place to reflect on war — from America’s birth (the city's famed Paul Revere statue is nearby too) to its ongoing conflicts".[4]
