podium beside statue
This arrangement of a fallen soldier's boots, rifle and helmet known as a BATTLE CROSS began in World War I. Since then, when a serviceman or woman is lost on the battlefield, comrades erect a Battle Cross to mark the spot and memorialize his or her supreme sacrifice.
Dedicated to the men and women who have served, survived, or died in the service of the USA Military.
We Honor You.
Thank you and God Bless you all.
Erected by American Legion Post 522.
