In 1907, the city of Atlantic City joined with the famous New York architecture firm of Carrere & Hastings in a plan for a civic monument.  Delayed by US involvement in World War I, in 1919, the city decided the monument should be built in honor and memory of city residents who served in the war. 

Designed in the Greek tholos form, the circular structure reaches 124’ in diameter and features 16 Doric columns made of Indiana limestone.  Paving between the columns is bluestone & slate.  The monument’s frieze depicts the name of battles in which Atlantic City men fought.

There are four medallions (Army, Navy, Marines & Aviation) that alternate around the circumference of the frieze.  The battles in which Atlantic City men fought are inscribed upon the architrave. 

In the interior of the temple is a nine-foot bronze statue, “Liberty in Distress,” designed by Philadelphia sculptor, Frederick MacMonnies.  This sculpture was installed in July 1929.  It depicts victory over the enemy, but at the same time emphasizes the sorrows & sufferings of war.  It was mounted on a green Vermont marble pedestal. 

The monument was dedicated in 1923.

The Liberty Memorial was designed in the classical Egyptian Revialstyle of architecture with a limestoneexterior. The foundation was constructed using sawed granite, and the exterior ground level walls are made of Bedford stone. Further construction occurred in 2000 for expanded National World War I Museum. At night, the top of the 217-foot (66 m) tall memorial tower emits a "flame affect", steam illuminated by bright red and orange lights. This effect creates the illusion of a burning pyreand can be seen for some distance. Overall, the memorial rises 265 feet (81 m) above the surrounding area.

 The grounds were designed by George Kesslerwho rocketed to fame on the strength of his City Beautifuldesign for the Kansas City park and boulevard system. The road on the west side of the Memorial is Kessler Road.

The oldest building on the Capitol Complex, the Liberty Memorial Building was constructed from 1920-1924 as offices for state agencies. The elegant use of multiple types of stone and bronze in the Neo-classical style has inspired photographers to shoot wedding, family, and senior photos there for many years. The Memorial Building now houses the State Library providing knowledge, history, and tradition all in the same place.

Located at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, the Liberty Memorial is a memorial to service men and women who served in World War I. It is a National Historic Landmark and associated with the National World War I Museum located nearby.

E.M. Viquesney Spirit of the American Doughboy statue at the VFW Post 1060 in Newark dedicated to Licking County soldiers who served and died in the First World War. Plaque, likely not original, reads "Erected by Newark Post 1060 Veterans of Foreign Wars of U.S. Dedicated to those comrades of Licking County who offered their lives in humanity's defense wherer [sic] their cross may be. Comrades in the silent land, In death we salute you. Dedicated June 22, 1929."

There are three Military Remembrance features on the front
lawn of the county courthouse. Two are pictured here, the
third is a granite Korean War Memorial bench.
The oldest monument was dedicated on Memorial Day, May
30, 1971 by The American Legion Posts of Lincoln County.
It honors “…Those Who Served…” and “…Those Who Gave
Their Lives…”.
The Black Granite Memorial Monument better fulfills the goals
of the VFW and Legion as it’s the duty of those military service
members who return from war and those who serve to maintain
the peace, to always remember the names of all of those who
Made The Supreme Sacrifice In Defense Of Liberty.

Riverfront Park is home to several monuments honoring servicemembers of Lincoln County. The centerpiece of the memorial area is a granite monument on a foundation of donated bricks. Each side of the monument is inscribed with the founding date and Latin motto of each branch of the US Armed Forces, such as the featured photo's "Haec Protegimus" ("This We'll Defend") for the Army. The monument is also topped with a life-size bronze sculpture created by a local artist and designed to represent the memorial's motto: "Continue the Fight, Leave No One Behind."

Three granite stelae and an inscribed bench make up this memo­rial, sculpted by Jerry Lail and dedicated in 1983. On the central stele is an eagle and 13 names of the Lincoln County residents who died in WWI, and the 94 who died in WWII. On the second stele are 16 names of dead from the Vietnam War, and on the other are 11 names from the Korean War, Grenada and Lebanon. The bench is dedicated to all war dead.

Ground for the monument was broken on November 15th, 1926 on what was called then "Hay Scales Lot". Over 200 school children and many citizens of the town participated, accorded to Dr. Fellows' "History of Lincoln". Evidently it didn't take long to construct the monument, because that next spring, May 29th to be exact, the town held a Memorial Day service and dedication at the monument that afternoon. Maine's Governor Ralph Brewster was on hand to give the dedication speech. The Hon. William T. Gardiner presented the monument to the town, and it was unveiled by Lincoln area Civil War veterans. The 5th Infantry Band played music, there were prayers and speeches, and a benediction was given by a Rev. Mullin. How many people attended the ceremony is not recorded, but we can assume many if not most area citizens attended, as was the custom back then for these types of things.

And since another world-wide conflict was not anticipated, it was simply called the World War Memorial. Today, it is more commonly called the "doughboy" statue after the nickname given to American soldiers in World War 1. It now faces out West Broadway instead of toward Main Street.

A large bronze eagle with outstretched wings perches atop a granite boulder. It was produced at the foundry of T.F. McGann & Sons Company, and was dedicated on November 11, 1929, to honor Lincoln's citizens who died in wars from the Revolutionary War through WWI. A plaque added later has the names of those who died during WWII and the Korean War.

The inscription on the George A. Lippi/Joseph F. Smith Memorial reads:

In Memory
of
George A. Lippi
and Joseph F. Smith
First World War
and all others who gave
their lives and have
served their country

On the left side of this granite memorial is a deep circular relief portrait bust of Edgar H. Lloyd, an Army first lieutenant who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The remainder of the memorial is dominated by a relief of a stylized eagle perched on laurel branches, to honor the men and women of Mississippi County who died in WWI and WWII.

This is an E.M. Viquesney Spirit of the American Doughboy, dedicated on November 11, 1928 in front of the old Logan County Courthouse. When a new courthouse was constructed, it was moved to its present location at Midelburg (Hatfield) Island at the Logan County High School and rededicated on November 11, 1983.  This is a monument to the men of Logan County who died in service during World War I.

The Lompoc World War I Memorial, located at the Lompoc Museum, was erected in 1925 by Civic Club and dedicated to the WWI soldiers from Lompoc. To commemorate the 100-year anniversary of World War I, the Memorial was renovated, including adding commemorative plaques and benches, installing atop the capstone a life-sized bronze eagle by sculptor Mike Curtis, and adding to the base a bas relief bronze sculpture of a doughboy soldier created by local artist Ed Brooks.  It was rededicated on November 11, 2018.

On a vertical granite slab is mounted a bronze plaque with a bas-relief of a spread-winged eagle. Below that is a WWI scene with an artillery squad with two cannon, manned by soldiers, and infantry­men with guns held at ready. Two columns of names form an honor roll of Londonderry men who served in WWI.
