Atop a granite and marble base are bronze figures sculpted by Neil Logan in 1989. The standing figure is of a military paramedic, and the sitting one is wounded, being held up by the paramedic. A plaque on the base lists approximately 140 names in four inscription to honor the local citizens who died in service in WWI, WWII and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

This Doughboy statue originally stood in Hiawatha, UT, and it still contains some memorial plaques dedicated to citizens of Hiawatha who served in the World Wars. One plaque honors Ltjg. William E. Hall, a Hiawathan Navy pilot who won the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Coral Sea in WW2. Other nearby plaques and honor rolls memorialize the fallen from Price, where the memorial is now located, as well as the greater Carbon County. The memorial was relocated by town authorities and the American Legion Price Post No. 3 in 1989 as Hiawatha's population continued to dwindle. Today only about 20 people still live in Hiawatha, down from a high of 1,500 in 1950.

This statue was first erected in Hiawatha, Utah by the Henry Holdsworth Post # 15 of the American Legion on May 1922 to honor five men from Hiawatha who died in World War I.

In 1989, through the efforts and expense of American Legion Price Post # 3, this statue was donated to Price City by the mayor and town council of Hiawatha, Utah. Hiawatha is now a ghost town.

The American Legion commissioned the cross to commemorate the 49 servicemen that died overseas in World War I. The monument was designed by Washington, D.C. architect and artist John Joseph Earley, and was erected between 1919 and 1925. The Latin cross design was selected as it mirrored the cross structures used on the gravesites of soldiers buried after the war in Europe and other locations. United States Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels spoke at the monument's groundbreaking ceremony in September 1919, with a formal dedication ceremony in July 1925. The name "Peace Cross" was first used in the Washington, D.C., area in 1898 for a twenty-foot-tall cross erected on the grounds of Washington National Cathedral to mark the end of the Spanish–American War.

The cross was originally built on private lands, but the lands were turned over to the state's Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 1961. The Commission has since overseen the maintenance of the memorial. The land has been heavily developed over the years, with a divided highway passing by it and the memorial on its median. The Commission installed nighttime illumination to avoid this becoming a safety hazard. Additionally, more war memorial structures have been erected in the same general area, creating the Veterans Memorial Park.

This World War I Memorial is a granite base with monolith stone. A bronze plaque is attached to it.

The Princeton All Wars Memorial, dedicated in 1925, was designed by architect Harvey Wiley Corbett and sculptor Gaetano Cecere. This memorial takes the form of a semi-circular marble bench, often referred to as an exedra, placed on a circular base.  At the center is a circular 68-inch diameter bronze medallion. The inscription reads: 

Originally created to commemorate those who served in World War I, it was later rededicated to all who have served the United States in a war.  Subsequent inscriptions have been added to commemorate those who served in World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and Desert Storm.  The original $10,000 cost of the memorial was raised with contributions from Princeton residents and clubs.

This is a bronze statue of a WWI doughboy, holding his rifle in front of himself with both hands. Beneath is a granite base with bronze plaques. It was dedicated in about 1920 to commemorate the men of Provincetown who served in WWI.

This is a unique memorial which recognizes not only Acoma veterans, but also all US veterans. 

The memorial site is composed of a marble statue of an Acoma warrior in traditional attire, an engraved arrowhead of granite bearing the seals of the Pueblo of Acoma, and the five branches of the US Armed Forces, a central granite pedestal behind the arrowhead, and two flanking granite pedestals inlaid with bronze plaques bearing the names of members of the American Legion Post 116. 

The dedication on the central granite pedestal reads: "This Memorial Dedicated to the Pueblo of Acoma Veterans/Warriors who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America With their Warrior Spirit, along with all Veterans, shared a common and undeniable goal 'To protect Acoma, and our country’s freedoms.' The Warrior – An Individual of sacrifice, loyalty, and freedom."
