Walking east now we come to the the intersection of Pearl and Howard streets and turn right. On our right is the Military Tribute park dedicated to honor and remember all those who've served and protected us in branches of the United States' armed forces.
In 2020, the Military Tribute Park was created through a collaboration of Union City Mayor Chad Spence, The Preservation Society of Union City Indiana Ohio, American Legion Post #158 and other members of the community notably Ted Leahey, Greg Hufford and Todd Landess.

The noted muralist, Pamela Bliss, was commissioned to create the mural, a tribute to our servicemen and women on land, sea and air with images reminiscent of all conflicts of the 20th century.
The life-sized statue, created by Joshua Shepherd, depicts an exhausted soldier carrying his wounded comrade from the battlefield.
