This memorial is located outside of the parking lot of the Tribal Health Authority and Puyallup Elders Center. It was designed to serve as a sacred circle with features that emulate a river bank. The memorial site features wood carved benches re-purposed from cedar trees, new landscaping (as of 2015) including evergreen trees. The memorial’s main feature is a 50 foot long radius wall featuring eight bronze medallions, 36 inches in diameter, representing eight branches of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard and Air National Guard. The wall also incorporates six 25 foot tall flag poles to display the flags of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Puyallup Tribal Veterans, Canadian, United States of America, State of Washington and the POW/MIA.

This is a full-length figure of a soldier dressed in military uniform, with hat, holding rifle in front of him, butt end down. He stands on arch-shaped base, with two text plaques, one listing names of World War I dead.

According to an article from 2003, when the memorial was rededicated and the landscaping improved:

"Frank L. Tarantino [owner of a memorial business] built the carved stone memorial that has a sculpture of a doughboy on top. The original monument was unveiled in 1926 at a site near the old train station at Front and Broad streets. In 1967, when the monument was moved to Memorial Park on Mill Street, Joe Tarantino and the family cemetery memorial business donated two additional stones, one that honored the men who died in World War II and the other honoring those who died in Korea, and later, Vietnam."

The plaque listing the names of those who died in World War I was added in 1967.

This memorial is located outside of the Quapaw Tribal Museum. The memorial is composed of black granite and it serves to commemorate the lives of Quapaw veterans. The memorial is divided into fourteen sections: the middle-section, three left-sections, and three right-sections, all of which have front and back sides. Currently, only ten of the sections have been inscribed.

The inscription on the front of the middle-section reads: In honor of those who served our country. Beneath, are inscribed the seals of the branches of the military, and the US seal. On back of the middle-section is inscribed the Quapaw Tribal seal, and below: Dedicated July 25, 2009.

The names of Quapaw veterans are inscribed on the front and back sides of the left and right sections of the memorial.

This is a bronze figure of a standing WWI soldier, holding his Springfield rifle in his right hand and a German helmet in his left. Hanging from him are a gas mask, bedroll, canteen, shovel and am­munition belt. It rests on a granite base. Bruce W. Saville sculpted it and it was dedicated in 1924 to the men of Quincy who served in WWI.

This life-sized bronze statue, designed by John Paulding, was dedicated on November 9, 1929 to honor the men and women of Racine who served in World War I.

In 1919, a proposal was made to Union County, New Jersey for a "Memorial Park", now known as the Rahway River Parkway.  It said its creation should serve as a memorial to those young soldiers who had lost their lives in the just-concluded World War I and also a salvation of the Rahway River for future generations. 

The county was urged to act swiftly stating:
"What better memorial could be imagined than to buy and reserve for this purpose one of nature's rarest gifts to Union County in the form of a "Union County Memorial Park?"  The Rahway River possesses a multitude of natural attractions, far beyond the reach of money, which can be made a perpetual monument to those who have remained in France and an endowment of nature to those have not. A dedication of this nature will preserve a priceless evidence of reverence and esteem, and the same time protect the virgin purity and beauty of one of the State's biggest assets and inspire great respect for its future protection."

Located on a quarter-acre triangular plot of land, this monument is a fifteen by five foot obelisk of Alabama limestone. It stands across the street from what was the entrance to the 42nd Division's World War I training grounds at Camp Mills on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island.

Inscribed on it are a lone bugler standing in a military cemetery, a list of the units that made up the Rainbow Division, the states they came from, and the names of the World War I campaigns in which they fought.

The monument was originally dedicated in 1941, rededicated in a 1997 ceremony, and rededicated again in 2005.

This is a M1905, U.S. Army 3 Inch Field Gun designed by Watervliet Arsenal. Field artillery of this type were in service from 1905 through the 1920s. During World War 1 the Army primarily used the French 75MM gun instead of the M1902/5s, which were mostly kept in the United States for training. Although this weapon appears in World War I-era very few of the M1902/5s were used in combat in Europe. They were gradually phased out of active service in the 1920s.
This cannon now on the front court house lawn was installed October 6, 1979, a gift of Sherwood “Ozzie” Gann and Edward G. Behrens of New London, donated to the citizens of Ralls County in memory of its military veterans and those who Made the Supreme Sacrifice in all wars. Mr. Gann was a World War 2 U.S. Navy veteran. He attained the rank of Boatswains Mate 1st Class and served in the South Pacific. Mr. Behrens, served in the U.S. Army at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO during the Korean War.
After military service, this Model 1905 3 Inch Army Field piece was placed in front of the Admiral Coontz’ Armory in Hannibal. It was given to the Hannibal Boy Scouts who moved it to the Vernon Maple farm, about 10 miles NW of New London. The Maple farm was used for a time as a Boy Scout retreat and camping site. Edward Cunningham, son-in-law of Vernon Maple, sold it to Gann and Behrens in September 1977.
When purchased by Gann and Behrens, the wooden wheels were decaying. In locating a carpenter who could duplicate the wheel spokes, the management at Silver Dollar City was consulted; John Corbin of Hollister made the new spokes. Behrens and A. Wells Pettibone of Hannibal flew to Branson and picked up the spokes in 1978. The felloes (the wood sections which make up the outer rim of the wheel, in which the spokes are placed) were replaced with new ones made by Adam Bontreger of the Amish Colony at Curryville. To remove the spokes from the hub where they were attached by bolts for reinforcement, the bolts had been cut in two. These were re-welded by Gary Fishback of Hannibal. Sam Schwartz of the Amish Colony, the wheelwright, was employed to assemble the restored wheels.
Three New London men completed the job of installation: Bob Schoeneman painted it khaki brown; Bob Byers made the concrete pad on which it rests, and Rex Fitzpatrick welded the cannon in place.
This is the second cannon which has been displayed in front of the court house, another which was on a gun emplacement for years was donated to the scrap iron drive in World War II. Later a prairie schooner wheel memorializing the Gold Rushers was displayed there.

This is a bronze statue of a World War I infantryman, advancing through the stumps  and barbed wire of No Man's Land with a hand grenade and rifle. It was sculpted by E.M. Viquesney and dedicated on November 11, 1928 to honor those who died in service in World War I, especially the ten men from Canyon who perished.

Over the years, the Doughboy suffered a lot of deterioration. The left arm had pulled away from the body; the rifle butt was dented; the rifle sling, end of the rifle and bayonet were missing, and the barbed wire was loose. A major refurbishment by Laboratory for Conservation of Fine Arts, Teaneck, New Jersey, was completed in April 1999 and the sculpture is now in excellent condition.

Raymond Pacific Auxiliary Memorial

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

This memorial was dedicated by the Ladies Auxiliary of the local VFW Post in 1940.  One plaque dedicates the memorial to "the memory of our comrades who entered the service of their country from Pacific County and who gave their lives in the World War", while another features the American's Creed: "I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon these principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."   The memorial was restored and rededicated in honor of the centennial of the end of World War I.  The rededication ceremony took place on May 19th, 2018.  The original three (real) rifle stack on top of the monument was recreated in colored bronze. The memorial was also moved to the same location as the Raymond All Wars Memorial Monument, 275 Alder Street (near the corner of 3rd and Alder Streets).  The rededication was carried out by the officers and Honor Guard of both the local Posts of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion.  The adjoining Willapa Bay Museum also holds a wonderful collection of World War 1 military collectibles, memorabilia and mementos.

This bronze statue of a WWI soldier depicts him at attention, holding the butt of his rifle in his right hand, while the barrel and bayonet extend over his shoulder. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, high boots and a thigh-length jacket. On the base below are inscribed granite panels decorated with a cannon, anchor and rifle. The park in which it sits is paved with inscribed memorial bricks and is sur­rounded by a semicircle of six granite markers inscribed with images of an eagle and the five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, Each also has a stanza from the branch's fight song, a war scene, and the branch's flag.

It was dedicated on June 8, 1919, to honor the soldiers from WWI. The memorial was erected by Mike Roth, a contractor who was at the time the mayor of the town. Listed are 216 citizens of Reading who served in WWI, including ten who died. The six gran­ite markers were added in an expansion project in the early 1990s to honor all veterans.

The Borough of Red Hill was not much different than most American towns that sent their young men off to fight in the war to end all wars. In the early part of the twentieth century the well noted industry of the town was cigar manufacturing.  What made Red Hill unique was its German Heritage.   A large percentage of the residence immigrated from the southern part of the German States and many of the boys coming from Red Hill spoke, at least a little, Pennsylvaniche Deutch (Pennsylvania German) or commonly called ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’,  a decided advantage during their military service ‘Over There’.   Also, considering the small population of the Borough at approximately 760, the recorded number of those that served totaled 37 men, about 5% of the population.   This included Charles Boyer and Charles Schuler who paid the ultimate price, never to return home to continue their lives and enjoy the fruits of their service.   Although the names of the 37 volunteers are known, little information has been uncovered as to their service records at this writing.   It is known that Edwin E. Zepp, a cigar maker by trade, and Robert Snyder, both took their training at Camp Meade, Maryland and served in Co. F, 314th Infantry, 79th Div., a unit that saw heavy fighting on the Western Front, ‘going over the top’ for the first time in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive on 26 September, 1918 and participating in action at Bois de Chenes, Moirey Crepoin, Hills 328 and 319 and Cote de Romagne ending on Monday, 11 November, 1918.   John N. Snyder of Co. I, also served with the 314th, 79th Div. as well as Charles L. Moyer, Headquarters Company, Regimental Band.

Slightly more information is known of Wilson Fillman originally of Third and Main Sts.  Fillman enlisted on 2 November, 1917 at Camp Mead, Maryland and trained at Camp Logan, near Houston, Texas, arriving in France on 23 April, 1918 joining up with the 5th Division near Chaumont and serving in Company L, 11th Infantry Regiment.  It is known he took part in the Saint-Mihiel and Meuse Argonne Offensives.  He was wounded on 10 November, 1918, one day prior to the Armistice.  Fillman returned to The States and was honorably discharged on 2 May, 1919 at Camp Dix, New Jersey.

This memorial was erected on the Red Lake Nation College campus. The memorial site is made up of four large black granite stones.

The memorial stone in the front of the site bears a dedication which reads: “Welcome to the Red Lake Nation Veteran’s Memorial. Honoring all of the men and women from the Red Lake Nation who have served in the armed forces in protection of our Nation and tribe. These names include all Red Lake veterans from World War I to the present day. We honor the bravery, service, and camaraderie that unites Ogichidaag (warriors) across time and place. Dedicated on this date of August 17, 2015, from all the people of the Red Lake Nation. Veterans names are in alphabetical order, not by rank, date of service, or branch. Names added after 8-17-15 will not be in alphabetical order.”

On the memorial stone behind the front stone there are inscribed the Red Lake National seal.

The other two memorial stones, to the right and left, are inscribed with the veteran’s names.
