Yellowstone County, Montana, commemorated the honorable WWI military service of twenty-three women with ties to the county. That means they were either born in the county, entered federal military service from the county, or are buried in the county. Memorial is the first of its kind in the county and probably in Montana. Memorial dedicated April 6, 2017, in public ceremony. Disabled American Veterans, Billings Chapter, provided the memorial and conducted the public ceremony. Memorial is the work of a local war veteran and historian, Edward E. "Ed" Saunders, who spent over 5 years researching and finding these women. The Billings Gazette newspaper covered the event and printed a front page story in the Gazette’s April 7, 2017, edition.

“FOR GOD AND COUNTRY”
Twelve of the young men who left the Le Roy area in 1917 and 1918 for service in
World War 1 did not return home. In their memory the town planted 12 Memorial
Pine Trees in South Park. This type of memorial was created in many towns and
cities across America. In many of those places the trees died or were remove due
to road construction projects. Here in Le Roy, the small bronze plaques were lost
and went unseen and were nearly lost in the shadow of the tall trees until an alert
citizen found them and collected them. The town and American Legion decided
to restore the plaques and attach them to a large shadow box sign at the entrance
to the park so these brave sons of Le Roy who made The Supreme Sacrifice in The
World War would not be forgotten and would always be remembered for the price
they paid for our Liberty.
