A paved walkway leads from the Visitors' Center to a small memorial that sits atop a knoll overlooking the graves area.
It consists of a paved plaza with a 4-metre rectangular granite obelisk flanked by two flagpoles on which fly the United States and Panamanian flags.
The English inscription reads: THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO ALL INTERRED HERE WHO SERVED IN ITS ARMED FORCES OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PANAMA CANAL.The American Battle Monuments Commission assumed responsibility for the care and maintenance of the Corozal American Cemetery in Panama in 1982.
When the cemetery is open to the public, a staff member is on duty in the Visitors' Center to answer questions and escort relatives to grave and memorial sites.
