Black Hills War Monument

Located in Memorial Park near downtown Rapid City, the Black Hills Veterans Memorial/Black Hills War Monument is highlighted by six magnificent granite walls with engraved names of almost 700 Black Hills military who died in wars from 1918 to the present. In addition, the memorial includes the six military service flags from each branch, as well as the POW/MIA flag, the State of South Dakota flag and the United States flag. The theme NEVER FORGET is written on the bottom of each Wall of Honor and there is night lighting to ensure 24 hour viewing by interested citizens. An embedded QR code in each wall allows viewers to be linked to the website, where the military legacies and histories of each fallen member can be viewed.
