Frequently Asked Questions

Heroes On The Concho is a special project dedicated to honoring the men and women from the San Angelo, Texas area who served in the United States Armed Forces during World War II. Through the creation of a memorial and statuary along the Concho River in downtown San Angelo, we aim to recognize their contributions and sacrifices.

The primary purpose of the Heroes On The Concho project is to pay tribute to the bravery and valor of our veterans who served during World War II.  This memorial will help to ensure these legacies are preserved for generations to come by listing every WWII Veteran from San Angelo and the surrounding area. 

The memorial and statuary will be situated along the banks of the Concho River across from McNease Convention Center.  This location provides a serene and reflective space for visitors to pay their respects to the veterans.
