A path of gravel evolves into a triangular-shaped granite walk which leads to granite steps. On either side of the top of the steps are granite pillars, one taller than the other. The pillars are smooth sided on front and back face; rough-hewn on all other surfaces. The tops of the pillars slope downwards and out from the center. On either side of the path are blocks of granite placed as benches. On the proper right side of the steps is a bronze sculpture of an army helmet resting on top of a military jacket. To the proper right of the jacket are a pair of bronze boots.
