The inscription on the plaque on the front of the pedestal reads:

1917 1918
IN HONOR OF THOSE  OF
WASHINGTON COUNTY
WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY

The inscription is followed by a listing of names that continues in multiple columns on all four sides. It includes 1,054 who served in the Civil War and 33 who served in the Spanish American War. There are 1,469 names of those who served in World War I – 1,337 Army, 114 Navy, 10, Marine, 8 Nurses.

The Doughboy was dedicated Sunday November 13, 1927 in an observation that included a major parade with veterans of the Civil and Spanish American Wars in autos, and walking veterans of the World War. National Commander of the American Legion, Edward E. Spafford, spoke at the dedication.

A nearby monument was placed in 1998 to recognize those who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It names 79 who gave their lives in World War II, 21 in Korea and 28 in Vietnam. The area also has granite markers honoring 23 County veterans groups or organizations.

A major restoration project led by the Washington County Historical Society was performed by Tony Rajer of Fine Arts Conservation Services, Madison, Wisconsin, in 1999-2000, and the Doughboy was rededicated May 30, 2000. A time capsule placed in the Doughboy’s pedestal when it was erected, but of which there was no known record, was found during the restoration. Its contents included a list of about 4,000 school children, from over 100 county schools in several townships, who made small contributions totaling $253 of the $6,000 original cost of the sculpture, pedestal and site improvements (about $4,000 was paid by the County and the rest by popular subscription).

This E.M. Viquesney Doughboy statue is dedicated to servicemembers from Mecklenburg County who served in WWI. It is inscribed:

Front: FOR GOD AND COUNTRY / IN HONOR OF / THE MEN OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY, / NORTH CAROLINA / WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTY / DURING THE WORLD WAR / 1917-1919

Rear: THIS MEMORIAL / ERECTED BY / CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY / IN APPRECIATION OF / WAR SERVICE IN THE CAUSE / OF WORLD-LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

Left side: THERE IS NO HIGHER SERVICE / TO ONE’S COUNTRY / THAN DUTY WITH THE FLAG

Right side: THEIR MANHOOD PREVAILED: / THEIR CAUSE TRIUMPHED.

It honors the "Doughboy" and soldiers like him of World War I. The leftmost bronze plate beneath the Doughboy states as follows:

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF
OUR COMRADES FROM CARTER COUNTY
WHO ENTERED THE SERVICE
OF THEIR COUNTRY.
THOSE WHO WERE WOUNDED AND
THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
IN THE WORLD WAR OF 1917 - 1918

The memorial acquisition had its beginnings as early as March 1920 when a successful campaign was conducted to raise funds to acquire the plaque by public subscription. The original plan was to place it on a large boulder at the Franklin County Courthouse, but a state art commission rejected that plan. After considerable delay, the base shown in the above photograph was built and the Doughboy was dedicated at the current location on a rainy November 12, 1923 – Armistice (November 11) was on Sunday that year. The parade paused for a minute of silence at 11 a. m. to recognize the effective time of the armistice five years earlier. Numerous organizations, bands and speakers participated in the ceremony.

This memorial was dedicated July 10, 1927, sponsored by the Phillips County Memorial Association, the 7-Generals Chapter of the UDC, and the City of Helena.  It is a E.M. Viquesney-designed doughboy, depicting a WWI infantryman advancing through the stumps and barbed wire of No Man's Land, holding a broken rifle and grenade.  The Helena Doughboy is one of only two specifically designated Viquesney Doughboys on the National Register of Historic Places.  The other is at Fort Smith, Arkansas. 

Dedicated May 30, 1928.  A goldfish pond that was once at the base is now filled in and planted with flowers. A machine gun was originally mounted on the raised part of the base between the two figures. Its disappearance has been the subject of news articles containing speculations about when it vanished. While it was missing in a 1997 picture that appeared in the Daily Miner, it was reported as being present at the time of a 1993 survey of outdoor sculptures.

The color picture at the left above is included to show more details of the sailor, who appears to be standing on a dock by a rope enwrapped stanchion (between his feet) as he waves his small round cap at some offshore object. Other metal "Spirit of the American Navy" sculptures accompany Doughboys at Clearwater, Florida; Naperville, Illinois; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Granite and Hobart, Oklahoma; and a stone version at Crowell, Texas. A similar Viquesney tribute to the Navy, titled "Sailor", occurs at Palatka, Florida. 

Kingman, Arizona is the only known location where two Viquesney statues occur on the same pedestal (Fort Worth, Texas has a Viquesney Doughboy and a WWII G.I. on the same base, but the latter is by a different sculptor, Giordano Grassi, and was placed in 1980).

E, M. Viquesney's "Spirit of the American Navy", the companion piece to his famous "Spirit of the American Doughboy", was discovered in a Pentwater, Michigan marine supply store. For 35 years it had been there, hiding in plain sight, until it was purchased and dedicated on October 13, 2013 in Burlington Square Park in downtown Naperville.

Spiritualized Life, Memorial Park 

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

Memorial Park was designed by the famed Olmsted Brothers and dedicated on Dec. 25, 1924. It is the only park in the state dedicated to the 1,220 Floridians who lost their lives in service during World War I.  In his composition of “Life” for Memorial Park, Charles Adrian Pillars made powerful use of the grand, theatrical style of Beaux Arts sculpture. Even though this style was regarded as somewhat old-fashioned by the 1920s, Pillars nonetheless found it fitting to tell a moving story of the true spirit of those who served. He wrote that he “desired this memorial to present the idea of life, its struggle and its victory."  To further honor the fallen, the names of the more than 1,220 Floridians who died in the First World War were inscribed on parchment and placed in a lead box within a bronze box inside of Life.

A 5 X 3 foot stone has incised upon it the image of an eagle hold­ing arrows in its talons. It was dedicated here on November 11,1995, in memory of the Springfield residents who served in WWI, WWII and the Korean War.

One of several WWI memorials in the city of Paterson, the original Spruce Street Bridge War Memorial plaque was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1932 to those who served in World War I. 

The bridge is adjacent to the Passaic River, just above Paterson's Great Falls located in Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. The bridge/overlook contains several low granite steps and a granite floor, bounded by a paneled concrete railing.  The modern replica bronze plaque is mounted to the central panel.

This memorial site is located on a forested site in-between the Elders Center and Tribal Museum. The Veterans Memorial is a small ceremonial gathering space representing Squaxin Island, the symbolic heart of the Squaxin Island Tribe who are also known as the People of the Water.

Seven water pools, representing the Tribe’s traditional lands comprised of seven watersheds in south Puget Sound, radiate out from the center space. Each water pool is a setting for a cluster of bronze paddles, each bearing the name of a veteran. A carved wood house post portal created by tribal artist Andrea Wilbur-Sigo marks the entrance to the gathering space. Informal paths meander through the pools and native landscape, with benches for resting and quiet contemplation. The Veterans Committee also brought a large petroglyph boulder originally from Harstene Island, and it is now sited on the memorial grounds. Other elements include a flag plaza and interpretive displays with oral history storytelling and plant names in the Lushootseed language.

St. Adalbert's Cemetery -- once called Polish Union Cemetery and sometimes still known as Holy Trinity Cemetery (the two cemeteries were merged in the 1970s) -- is on Milwaukees's south side and is one of the older cemeteries in the area.  There is a corner of the cemetery into which were returned many of the Polish men from the city's south side killed in World War I. Included in this group was Sgt. John Czajka, the 4th American soldier killed in combat. In this corner of World War I graves the Army and Navy erected a stone obelisk in honor of the south side soldiers. Other former soldiers were buried here in the inter-war years and several were brought home during and after World War II.
