Sixteen south-facing slabs list a decade and provide a history of the military conflicts of that decade. The pillars summarize the 1770s, 1780s, 1790s, 1810s, 1830s, 1840s, 1860s, 1870s, 1890s, 1910s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1990s, and 2000s. Smaller north-facing slabs across the path bear the names of the Garner-area residents who died in each conflict. Scattered among the slabs are smooth stone benches. The memorial includes space at the end of the timeline for potential future conflicts.
