The monument honors the courage, service and sacrifice of Attleboro's men and women who answered the nation's call during the Global War on Terrorism. It serves as a permanent tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who served honorably throughout the more than two decades of conflict, and those who continue to serve today.
Community members, veterans, active-duty military personnel, Gold Star families, elected officials and the public are invited to attend the dedication ceremony, which will commemorate the service and commitment of local military members and recognize their contributions to the defense of the United States.

The Attleboro monument provides a place for reflection, remembrance, and appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who have served during this era.
