Philadelphia City Council in 1970 chose Veteran's Stadium as the name for
the city's new sports facility. Veteran's stadium opened April 10, 1971,
was closed September 28, 2003 and imploded March 21, 2004.
To commemorate the site of Veteran's Stadium, the Phillies dedicate this
monument as an everlasting memorial to veterans who have defended
America's freedom since its inception in Philadelphia, July 4, 1776.
