On Veterans Day 1995, Pony Express Post 359 (in conjunction with Memorial Park Cemetery and the Joint Veterans Committee of Saint Joseph, Missouri) held a ceremony to dedicate a 10 foot tall black granite monument as a memorial to all the veterans who had served in America's wars and conflicts since her birth as a nation. The ceremony was held in icy winter conditions but was well attended. Post Commander Larry Waller gave a dedication speech and Reverend Jimmy Albright read remarks from Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to weather conditions at Rosecrans Field in Saint Joseph.

Every year on Memorial Day Post 359 holds a re-dedication ceremony at the monument.
