The City of Carlisle is very grateful for the service of the men and women from the community that have served in our nation's Armed Forces.

"A Tribute to Our Fallen Comrades"

The entrance to North Municipal Park, at 1st Street and Park St., is adorned with wrought iron gates supported by brick pillars on each side.  On one pillar is a plaque dedicating the park to those who gave their lives for their country.  On the other pillar is a plaque bearing their names.  

The large gates are permanently closed and someone has attached a yellow ribbon in support of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Pedestrian gates provide access to a tree shaded drive.  The end of the drive  is closed by three flagpoles bearing the American flag, the Iowa flag, and the American Prisoner of War (POW) flag.  Each side of the drive is lined with  memorial plaques, bearing the names of Carlisle residents who have served in our nation's Armed Forces.

The plaques stand erect and proud before our nation's flag as once did the persons who's names are thereon inscribed.   Benches in the shade provide a resting place where one may set and chat with others or enjoy a moment of silent tribute.
