This memorial is found just inside the gates of the Forest Lawn Cemetery.  It consists of a black granite stele with appropriate words of remembrance for those who served in the World Wars and Korea.  Flanking the memorial is the veterans plot with dozens of markers of former servicemen and women who bravely performed their duties for their country. All grave markers in this section are lying flat on the ground.  A single Canadian flag marks the plot.
