Memorial Hill in Midway stands as a powerful tribute to Heber Valley’s veterans — shaped over decades by the hands and hearts of local residents like Vietnam veteran Terry Edwards. What began as a quiet hilltop is now a place of honor, memory and quiet strength, marked by engraved pillars, waving flags and a solemn bronze statue.
This Memorial Day, learn the remarkable story of those who sacrificed not just in battle, but to build and preserve this lasting tribute standing sentry over the valley.
