It seeks to ensure that their heroic acts are remembered by future generations and to instill the union spirit and patriotic fervor among the youth. Inside the Memorial, the names of the heroes honored with the Aung San Thuriya, Thiha Thura, and Thura Titles, as well as those who received badges, are inscribed on granite stones with gold lettering.

Additionally, statues of five soldiers and a civilian who were conferred with the Aung San Thuriya Title are displayed outside the building.
