to symbolize / exemplify those exalted / venerated pages in our land's history

I'm sorry, but neither 'heroic', 'valiant' or the like sounds good with regard to 'pages.' It just sounds weird and awkward.

the (most) glorious events of the history

I would put it this way - a unique memorial commemorating the most glorious events of the history... The word pages instead of events in this context is also possible I believe.

... great achievement(s) in the nation's history

... which evokes some great achievement in the nation's history.

Sometimes it works to avoid having to pick an adjective like glorious, valiant, heroic, illustrious. And it can really help to get rid of "pages."

To me, it also sounds better as "an achievement" in the singular, for each station, though you could also make "achievements" plural and omit "some."

Ooops! I meant to give that a 4, not a 5 - since it's a matter of taste.
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexandra Taggart : Just.."to symbolise pages"-beyond emagination,easier for the reader-"to reflect achievements,great events".

Thank you. Actually, the original says that the mosaics, etc. "reflect" the pages; thus, the pages are events in history. The expression "a page in the nation's history" is also used in English, but here may not be the best choice.
