The Silverhill Veterans Memorial began with a towering structure made of polished black granite with etched artwork on both sides designed by Paul Morris of PM Printing in Summerdale, along with metal "stationary flags" depicting all branches of the military. Funds for the memorial were raised by the Gear Jammers Car Club.

The flagpoles were donated by Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Co. The concrete work was donated by a veteran, Chris Traughber, and the landscaping and finishing work was done by town employees, acting Superintendent of Utilities Scottie Smith, Tommy Moss, Jamie Morton and Justin Matthews.

The Silverhill Veterans Memorial was dedicated March 18, 2017 at Paul Anderon Park, across from Town Hall at the corner of Alabama 104 and County Road 55 in Silverhill.

The Silverhill Veterans Organization, Inc, continued the work of the Gear Jammers Car Club to raise funds for additions to the Silverhill Veterans Memorial. With their efforts, they were able to erect three 4-foot by 8-foot stones with the names of more than 647 veterans from Silverhill and the surrounding areas. These monuments were put in place surrounding the original memorial on December 4, 2019 by Stan Vinson of Mack Funeral Home Monuments in Robertsdale and James McKinley of Parkway Enterprises of Perdido. Prep work for the site was done by employees of the Town of Silverhill. The memorial was dedicated January 11, 2020.

Silverhill has been named a Purple Heart Community by the Military Order of the Purple Heart organization in recognizing those wounded or killed in combat for their country. The Silverhill Veterans Memorial Organization is committed to honoring and commemorating Purple Heart medal Recipients and their families.

The Purple Heart Medal is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration. It is our nation's oldest military medal. It was first created by General George Washington in 1782 and was then known as the Badge of Military Merit.

The Silverhill memorial monuments include the first name, last name and middle initials of veterans from Silverhill and the surrounding areas, along with their branch of service, and a Purple Heart designation .

The following abbreviations after each name show which branch of the military each veteran served.

AAC: Army Air Corps
NSA: National Security Agency
UASF: United States Air Force
USA AC: United States Army Air Corps
USA: United States Army
USAF: United States Air Force
USAFR: United States Air Force Reserve
USCG: United States Coast Guard
USMC: United States Marine Corps
USMM: United States Merchant Marines
