The Veterans Freedom Park in Cary NC is located at the corner of Cary Parkway and North Harrison Avenue, on the north side of Cary. It was dedicated July 1, 2003, but has not been completed to date. I rather like it as a quiet place, as it is, for reflection.
The lush grounds of the park, and the size of 11 acres help the visitor focus on quiet and peace, rather than the busy N Harrison Avenue thoroughfare. That removal from the daily hubbub seemes fitting, in accordance with appreciation and remembrance of the sacrifices made by so many.
Veterans Freedom Park has been spurred by commitment of SAS Institute to donate the 11 acres to the National Veterans Freedom Park Foundation and to pay to install a 120 foot granite spire memorial, in addition to the existing monuments.

I noticed last week they roped off areas’of the freedom park on Harrison Ave. And now it is gone. What happened to the memorial and flag poles? I thought maybe they were starting to build the buildings but no it was taken down, or is my husband imagining it has been taken down?

Hi, Connie,
As noted in the Cary News article above, it appears that final construction of the Veterans Monument has begun. Great! It should be a fine memorial.
