Veterans Plaza on South Main features the Veterans War Memorial in its center. In 1923, the H.J. Graham's family erected the monument honoring the Boerne men who died in World War I. Years later a bronze piece was added to the top of the monument and plaques were added to recognize those killed in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam.  In 2014, plaques were added in honor of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.  When the park was dedicated on March 6th 1923, Eugene Goldbeck documented the day with a panoramic picture that hangs in City Hall.  100 years later to the day, Boerne citizens duplicated the picture in 2023, as Goldbeck’s grandson captured that moment.
