Memorial

The Nix-yá-wii Warriors Memorial is located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. It is dedicated to the warriors who have fought in all wars from 1855 to the present.

The dedication stone bears an inscription which reads:

“Nix-yá-wii Warriors Memorial

This memorial will forever remember our people

The cause, Umatilla and Walla Walla Indians

Who honorably served and protected our way of life, our

Country and traditional homeland in times of war and peace.

Dedicated July 4, 1996”

To the left and right of the dedication stone are listed individual veteran’s names.

The Noel Johnson Code Talker Bridge is located on US-259 -- near Eagle Fork Creek, south of Smithville. 

John Paulding sculpted this bronze WWI soldier who holds his rifle parallel to the ground, and holds his other hand raised and open. The rectangular stone base has a plaque dedicating it to the veterans of all wars. It was unveiled by American Legion Post No. 16 on May 30, 1928.

This World War I memorial, dedicated on November 11, 1921, is constructed of granite ashlar and is triangular in plan and elevation, echoing the Green on which it sits. Seats are built into the face of each side and bronze tablets commemorate the lives of those lost. It was built by the fathers and brothers of those who died.

This memorial (statue and tomb) was sculpted by Paul M. Landowski in 1937 to honor Norman Prince, the founder of the Escadrille Lafayette, a unit which fought in World War I.  Prince was born in 1887 in Massachusetts, graduated from Harvard University, and taught law in Chicago. While in law school at Harvard, he became just the 55th American to be licensed to fly an airplane. When World War I broke out in 1915, Prince quit his law practice and sailed to France. After more than a year, he finally persuaded the French government to create an air force in April 1916 (year before the United States entered the war).  This air force became known as the American Escadrille and later named the Lafayette Escadrille in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, the French officer who served in the Continental Army in the American Revolution. Prince flew 122 combat missions, and shot down five enemy planes. In October 1916, Prince's plane hit a telegraph wire as he was attempting to land. He crashed his plane and broke both legs. He died three days later from a blood clot. He was initially interred at Luxeuil, but later was moved to the Lafayette Escadrille Memorial tomb at St. Cloud (near Paris). In 1937, Prince's father, Frederick Prince, had Norman's body moved to Washington National Cathedral. Frederick Prince donated $200,000 to the cathedral so they could build a chapel in the south choir.

“Sam”, as the 5’ granite doughboy is affectionately known by staff and patients,
has been a fixture here since moved from it’s original and still standing base at
1183 E. Main St. in Norman. This was the original location of the Veteran’s Center.
The doughboy and it’s original base have no inscription, dedication or Honor Roll
plaque. “Sam” is displayed at the center with a granite plaque dedicated to The
National Sojourners. Sam’s history is not known by Center staff, but research is
being done to correct it’s missing provenance.

A second WW1 artifact at the Norman Veterans Center is a bronze plaque
that is now mounted on the front of the new facility but appears to have
been moved from our old facility located at 1183 E. Main St. in Norman.
It commemorates Oklahoman’s Disabled and killed in World War I .
It is accompanied by a re-dedication plaque.

A standing bronze soldier in battle dress typical of the WWI era holds his rifle in front of himself, his right hand above the trigger and his left around the barrel. It sits on a large stone boulder, and was intended to typify the bravery and self-sacrifice of all North Andover men who served in the Army and Navy in any wars in defense of our country. It was sculpted by Theo A.R. Kitson and dedicated on June 14, 1913.

This is a circular stone plaza reached by steps. In the center on a square column is a globe topped with an eagle. At the edge of the plaza are three tall square columns, engraved to honor those who served in WWI, WWII, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

The granite Northborough World War I Memorial has a central bronze relief sculpture featuring five marching doughboys. The first and last soldiers are holding rifles on their right shoulders. The three central soldiers are carrying flags. On either side of the relief are honor rolls with the names of Northborough citizens who served during World War I. On top of the monument is a bronze sculpture of an eagle with its wings spread. The monument was dedicated on October 12, 1932.

On a granite wall with a pediment are placed three metal honor roll plaques. On them are listed the men of Rockdale Village who served in WWI. It was erected here in about 1970.

This memorial is located within the Northern Ute Veterans Memorial Park. It consists of four large stone walls and a statue. Each stone wall bears one, or more, plaque(s) inscribed with a dedication or veterans names. The statue resembles a Native American warrior riding a horse. 

The dedication inscribed upon a plaque at the entrance to the park reads: "This memorial - monument is dedicated to the families and veterans who served honorably in service of their country and people."

Another dedication inscribed upon a black granite pedestal near the center of the park reads: "In grateful memory of those who died in service of their country in military operations in various conflicts from the world wars to the present time. They stand in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die that freedom might live and grow, and increase its blessings. Freedom lives, and through it, they live. In a way that humbles the undertakings of most men."

No additional information at this time.

The inscription on the front of this memorial reads:

On this grassy median between the highway and city streets are four gray granite memorial
monuments dedicated to area residents who served in World War 1, World War 2, Korea and
Vietnam. The two center monuments have a bronze plaque on both sides.
The original World War 1 monument was moved to this location, restored, joined by a World
War 2 monument and rededicated on January 1,1949. The original location is thought to have
been at the junction Church St. and State St., next to the Public Library and across the street
from the Post Office, on what was a grassy triangle. See vintage photo in gallery.

Text on the Main St. side of the monument reads:

1917    HONOR ROLL      1919
         DEDICATED TO THE
MEN OF NORTHUMBERLAND
  WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY IN
         THE WORLD WAR

Followed by the names of 4 men “Who Made The Supreme Sacrifice” and 82 men and 1 woman
who served honorably in The War To End All Wars” and returned home.

The text on the West St. side contains the same heading which is followed by the names of 3
men “Who Made The Supreme Sacrifice” and 83 men who served honorably in "The War To End
All Wars” and returned home to Northumberland. A photo of this side can be found in the gallery.
