What an unexpected surprise and amazing memorial. Stopped at the rest area, expecting nothing. Saw the signs for the memorial and decided to stop by and it was so SERENE. Very well kept memorial. I loved the circle and being able to read the names, which made it seem so much more personal. I would love to visit again on my way through.

This place was great. We were driving through on Memorial Day Weekend and stopped at the rest area. Was a pleasant surprise to have such a nice memorial at the rest area. Wife and kids enjoyed the walk along the path to get there. You should make time to stop and see this.

Very solemn and fine tribute to our fallen. My wifes Uncle is on the wall and I generally take a walk in this quiet still place to relax and gather my thoughts about how thankful I am for the men and women who are on that wall and their sacrifice. Good respite for a few minutes in the middle of my travels.

Very clean and well kept memorial site. There are parking places for handicapped access closer than the rest stop next door. SB, take the driveway on the right just past the regular spaces. If walking, take the brick path just past the tall bushes down to the site.

Beautiful as the other reviews speak with typed words.Unfortunately I had to experience it with perspectives and opinions of disgraceful people that have been placed into my mind via technology by aforementioned disgraceful and trashy people, some of them the children of Veterans.When a person cant truly enjoy the beauty of a place meant to serve as Memorial Ground to those who deserve silent homage, because others would clutter the mind of an individual with atrocious voices inside their head, then we know truly that the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands was mostly in vain...

The memorial is worth the time to visit. There is a wall of names (North Carolinians lost in the war) similar to the one in Washington DC, but the names are engraved in bricks. Follow the signs as you drive through the rest area.

In the middle of shift change (in which I had no idea what time that was) a rude nurse said to me as I was walking OUT of my fathers room, that I needed to stop with the in and out during shift change due to patient confidentiality. I worked in the medical field. A sign or something would have been nice on when shift change was. Not to mention, Id been sitting in my dads room for hours and it was the first time I had left the room. The other nurses and staff were extremely nice.

Beautiful memorial-wall of names in ceramic tiles rather than marble. Based on earthwork circle with one entry/exit.Practical note: memorial is accessible from both eastbound & westbound so you can lose the car by walking halfway around & out into the other rest area. If you crossed a bridge going in you must cross it leaving (eastbound). If not, no bridge leaving (westbound)!
