The Veterans Plaza honors and recognizes the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans.
You can find the Veterans Plaza on the other side of the main entrance to Sheridan College, on the northwest corner of parking lot A. Around 300 brick pavers were bought and engraved in honor of family members and friends who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. These brick pavers and a statue named “Freedom Isn’t Free” were unveiled on Memorial Day, 2013. A second and final installation of approximately 100 additional brick pavers was unveiled on Veteran’s Day, 2014.
On May 5th, 2016, Veterans Plaza was the site of an unveiling ceremony of a two-foot-tall replica of the Vietnam Women’s Memorial in Washington D.C. Of the 100 replicas that were made, the one at Sheridan College is the only publicly displayed outdoor sculpture in the United States besides the original full-size version in the nation’s capital.
