THE VISION

Reflection Park will be built on six acres in the heart of Fort Lewis, Washington. With Mount Rainer standing sentry in the distance and surrounded by towering evergreen trees, the Park will embrace the memorialized names of fallen service men and women with ties to Washington state, from all uniformed Services: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Washington State National Guard.

The memorial will span all major conflicts, from WWI thru the current conflict and beyond. Within each conflict "band of time", the names of the fallen will be engraved on massive basalt boulders, native to Washington state, and will be set into a pastoral landscape of meandering paths and meadow gardens.

THE GOAL

The idea and design for Reflection Park grew from meetings held with focus groups across Fort Lewis and the surrounding communities.

Our goal is to create a tranquil place to reflect and remember those who have fallen in the past, present and any future conflicts.

In memorial to the fallen with ties to the State of Washington, generations of visitors to Reflection Park will have the opportunity to remember, to learn and to reflect upon the contributions our service men and women have given, and continue to give, for our freedom.

EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS
