Veterans Memorial at Riverside, California

 

This memorial is located in a small park in front of City Hall. It includes a nice fountain and memorial plaques for Riverside County soldiers killed in action from all the wars.

It also has a separate memorial for Staff Sergeant Ysmael R. Villegas who was Riverside's very first Medal of Honor recipient.
