Each tablet is three feet wide and six feet tall, and weighs 2000 pounds. The tablets were built and installed by Sadler & Son Monument Works of Hobbs, New Mexico. The names of 2600 veterans from Andrews County are engraved on the tablets. The memorial incorporates works of art by Ray Simon of Youngstown, Ohio, and was completed at a cost of $150,000 which was raised via donation.[2] Soldiers from every major conflict in which America has participated are honored.[1] There are three fallen Andrews County Soldiers honored at the memorial; Kenneth L. Boykin , Ronald D. Horn , and Ray M. Bevel [https://web.archive.org/web/20080109120720/http://www.militarycity.com/valor/2711252.html].
