The story behind this Memorial Monument can not be told in a few sentences here.
Please read the PDF linked below. After reading it I am sure you will see as I did,
that his story could have been written about any of the thousands of small towns
and neighborhoods in America that have sent their young sons and daughters off
to war in defense of our great nation and our G-d given rights and freedoms.

The 34 names on this Memorial Monument are those of native and adopted
sons of Edina (and Morningside during the period of separation) who died
while serving in a time of war over the years since Edina was incorporated
in 1888. The first death occurred during the First World War, when Roy
and Elizabeth Sherman’s 18-year-old son Elmer was killed while fighting in
a heavily fortified sector of France’s Argonne Forest. Elmer Sherman was
the only Edina resident who perished in that conflict.

This is a bas-relief depicting WWI veteran Maj. Edward Edgar Hartwick kneeling in prayer with his hand on the shoulder of a young boy. Also shown is a cavalry insignia and the image of a castle. It was sculpted by Julius C. Loester and dedicated on October of 1921 to mark Maj. Hartwick s grave

“Our Sons”

The words on the name tag of Ryan C. Garbs’ bronze bust at the Edwardsville City Park read “Our Sons”.
The monument was inspired by the life and death of the U.S. Army Ranger Specialist who was killed In
Action on February 18, 2007 in Afghanistan at the age of 20. His parents, Douglas and Jill Garbs, wanted
to memorialize all Edwardsville’s sons who died in wars since 1900. There are 77 names listed on granite
stones on each side of the bust.
Douglas Garb said the idea to include others came the day of his only son’s funeral when he encountered
the parents of a college buddy, 1st LT. David Boyle, USMC, who was also a fallen soldier. Dave’s mom and
dad came up through the visitation line. When our eyes met, I was like: I hadn’t thought of Dave since '83.
And right then I knew I was going to do something so we wouldn't forget. And I was not only going to honor
Dave, my friend, I'm going to find some of the other guys.”
The result of Garbs’ quest is the Ryan C. Garbs Gold Star Monument, a memorial that stands in front of the
Edwardsville Public Library. A dedication ceremony took place on Saturday, April 21, 2012.
Garbs said the monument is a testimony to the generosity of the Edwardsville community. Countless individuals,
businesses and organizations have helped the Garbs family raise $75,000 to erect the monument, from the
$10,000 donation from the Edwardsville Rotary Club to an 86-cent donation from an Alton woman who taped the
coins to an index card with a note saying it was all she could afford."This journey has been extraordinary and so
many people have stepped up to help," Garbs said. “As time went on, it evolved into what it is today — just
remarkable.”Garbs said Ryan was a special man, who represents so many others.

The Elk On The Trail is a World War I memorial to Massachusetts Elks who died in World War I.

A 8' high bronze statue of an elk stands on a 3' high rough cut granite base behind a 4' high fenced in area. The elk holds his head high and has a full rack of antlers. The elk was cast at the Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence, RI. Sculpted by Eli Harvey, the memorial was dedicated on June 17, 1923.

The plaque reads:
THE ELK ON THE TRAIL
IN MEMORY OF
THE BROTHERS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS
ELKS ASSOCIATION
WHO DIED IN THE WORLD WAR
ERECTED BY THE ASSOCIATION
17TH JUNE 1923.

The monument is a granite pillar faced with a bronze eagle and a plaque with names of those from Elko County fallen in the Great World War. It stands in front of the courthouse in downtown Elko, Nevada.

The Elks Veterans Memorial is a tribute to the bravery, loyalty and dedication of the thousands of Elks who have fought and died for our country. It has been described as one of the most magnificent war memorials in the world, but with its monumental architecture and priceless art, the Memorial is more a symbol of peace and of the patriotism of the members of the Elks fraternity.

This Memorial Monument features the names of Elma citizen who Made The Supreme Sacrifice
in the service of the United States during World War 1, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq

To a stone stele, approximately seven feet tall, is mounted a bronze relief plaque depicting two soldiers sitting and one kneeling, while above is an angel with spread wings, holding a branch and a sword. In the lower corners of the plaque are a cannon and an an­chor. The plaque forms the center portion of a large bench which was dedicated on May 30, 1924, to honor the 120 citizens of Chemung County who died in WWI.
