Here, where once stood the Shubert Theatre, 1,100 World War I veterans fresh from victory in Europe and dedicated to the memory of those who did not return, completed the task they had begun in Paris in March 1919.
Recognizing the historic significance of this site, US Bank and the American Legion have joined together to preserve in the minds of the people the memory of this place and to commend to posterity the service and sacrifice of all American veterans.
