Inscription.

This flagpole, the bells, and the cannon initially were placed on the original parade ground at the west end of the base. As the fort expanded to the east in the early 1900s, they were moved to this location. The flagpole is an Army standard issue, high-wind flagpole, not from the battleship USS Wyoming as some believe. The bells and cannon are war trophies from the Spanish American War.

Erected by F.E. Warren Air Force Base.
