This sculpture and surrounding memorials are dedicated to those who have served in all wars from WW1 to the Persian Gulf War. The sculpture, titled "Shoulder to Shoulder Even the Fallen Stand Tall," depicts servicemembers from each of the wars supporting each other around a marker for a fallen comrade. They are sheltered by a gigantic bald eagle, whose back is designed to resemble both feathers and the fabric of the American flag. A nearby stone marker (pictured in the photo gallery) describes in more detail the sculpture's unique meaning and symbolism, as well as the historical connections between the wars.

The Memorial Building is a two-story Neoclassical structure built of concrete in a pentagonal shape. The first floor is raised, providing light to the basement level. The two front facades are faced in grey terra cotta and coursed stone, while the remaining elevations are faced with brick. The heavy bronze door entrances are approached with wide granite steps and are flanked by Ionic columns. Above each entrance, clocks are inset into the terra cotta. A balustrade runs around the roof edge. Multipaned windows separated by pilasters and topped with arches run around the first floor, and rectangular windows with architrave trim are used on the second.

The inscription on this memorial reads:

Robert H. Barker

Nov. 14, 1918

A separate bronze plaque reads:

Jackson World War I Memorial Fountain

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

The Jackson World War I Memorial Fountain was donated to Madison County shortly after the end of WWI by members of the Jackson-McClaran chapter of the American Red Cross.  Following a restoration in 2018, the memorial was re-dedicated to mark the centennial of the 1918 Armistice that ended World War I. The restoration included repainting the structure, restoring the missing urn on the top, and installing three new plaques: one recognizing African-American citizens of Madison County who were not honored in the past, one listing the previously omitted names of the dead not mentioned on the original plaque including African-American soldiers, and the official plaque designating the fountain as a Centennial Memorial Monument.
