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.

In 2016 the American Legion riders stopped her at the memorial. Here is the article from the local paper

RED BAY – A seemingly endless stream of motorcycles, riding two abreast, roared into downtown Tuesday morning, stopping at the Veterans Memorial.
“It was pretty amazing seeing them coming downtown,” Red Bay Mayor David Tiffin said. “It was just a steady stream. It had traffic blocked for some time, but I don’t think anyone minded.”

The riders were part of the 11th annual America Legion Legacy Run. The riders left Indianapolis Aug. 21 and will travel 1,300 miles over five days through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia before ending Aug. 25 in Harrison, Ohio.
City officials said there were around 400 riders.
“All of the riders were veterans,” said Red Bay Councilman and local banker Brad Bolton. “It was an honor and privilege to host them in Red Bay.”

The ride is an effort to raise money to provide college scholarships for children of parents who died while on active duty military service.
According to American Legion officials, the ride raised $1.2 million last year and more than $6 million since it began in 2006.
“And they have raised $450,000 so far this year,” Bolton said.
He said the veterans came to Red Bay after spending the night in Tupelo, Mississippi. After stopping in Red Bay the group headed to Huntsville.

At Red Bay, they stopped at Veterans Park off Main Street, for a ceremony.
“We had several people from the area there, as well as some of the elementary teachers brought their classes to the park for the ceremony,” Tiffin said.

During the ceremony, the riders placed a wreath on the Veterans Memorial.
American Legion National Commander Dale Barnett, of Georgia, who is making the trip with the motorcycle riders, was presented a key to the city by Tiffin. State Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow, D-Red Bay, read a proclamation passed by the Alabama Legislature.

Tiffin said the stop in Red Bay was not part of the original plans.
“One of the advance riders came into Red Bay about three months ago, saw our Veterans Memorial, and stopped to talk with me,” Tiffin said. “He asked if they could come in and stop here at the memorial as a part of the ride."

“It was a great way to honor our veterans. We’re just thankful they choice to honor us, by stopping here.”

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.

3" Davis Gun - Used during 1917-1918 on Submarine Patrol Boat 629 of the Baltic Patrol

This 1936 courthouse was designed by Edwin A. Molander, engineered by C.H. Ording, and built by I.E. Orheim with funding from the Works Progress Administration and the Soldiers Memorial Levy. The Renville County Courthouse is the only courthouse in North Dakota that could be considered to have Art Moderne styling. The granite monument with a flag pole in front of the courthouse is engraved with the names of the Renville County veterans who gave their lives in WWI

This is a life-size bronze uniformed WWI soldier standing with his right hand on his cartridge belt and his left on his rifle strap. From his belt hangs a canteen, and over his left shoulder is a rifle with a fixed bayonet. It was sculpted by Allen George Newman (1875-1940) and was cast in 1919. The artist's son sold it in 1973 to Dewill Gurnell, who offered it to the village. It was dedicated by the Veter­ans of Foreign Wars on May 31, 1973.

This historic bronze plaque formerly hung in the City Council Chambers

at the City Hall which was built in the 1960’s. It had been moved there
from the original Richfield Town Hall. When the new City Hall was built,
the plaque was moved to this location.
The plaque is not in the actual “Honoring All Veterans Memorial”, but the
stone it is mounted to can be seen in the lower left corner, next to the flag
poles, in the full Memorial photograph in the Photo Gallery. It is next to a
very interesting American Civil War Memorial & Monument.

The inscription reads:

HUMBLE EXPRESSION
OF APPRECIATION TO
