100 Cities - 100 Memorials

Geolocalisation bp

Memorial Inventory Project:  There is one other existing partial database to consult - The WWI Memorial Inventory Project [CLICK HERE]. It contains some memorials our map doesn't. The listings on this database are fair game for the Memorial Hunters Club. So if you want to search for treasure from your desk - find missing listings here and submit them. Remember though, you will need to come up with pictures and the history of the memorial. You might be able to hunt that down through www.Proquest.com and Google.

Veteran's Memorial Pillars

The park was dedicated on November 11, 1926, after the Grand Rapids Council of the American Legion and public contribution funded memorial pillars in honor of WWI vets. In 1945, a citizens group petitioned for a WWII veterans memorial, and coupled with interest for honoring those who served in the Korean War, funds were secured for the addition of five granite pillars to the park. In 1975, two more pillars were added to honor Vietnam veterans.

Names of those who died in WWI appear on eight bronze bronze plaques placed on the sides of the granite pillars. Flowers commemorating their sacrifice are place at the base of both monuments. The plaque reads, "ERECTED BY THE CITIZENS OF GRAND RAPIDS WITH FUNDS VOLUNTARILY SUBSCRIBED THEREFORE AND DEDICATED NOVEMBER 11, 1926 TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF GRAND RAPIDS WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WAR. The smaller monument visible between the two pillars is a bust of Thomas Gilbert.

Dedicated, November 11, 2017

The James H. Schooley Post #130 of the American Legion in partnership with the City of Zillah and community members joined together to construct a Veterans Memorial next to the historic Teapot Gas Station Memorial Park in Zillah. This memorial will be a permanent place to give thanks to local area veterans who have served this country with honor and distinction. The City of Zillah committed $82,000 plus donating the 150’ by 40’ plot of land towards the project and the remainder of the funding was raised through private donations, grants and in-kind trade labor. The memorial features a walking path with 21 concrete sentinels with brick holders mounted on the front, alongside a flag for each branch of the military. The path also leads to a central plaza with a Battlefield Cross”.  The area also features  a centralized American Flag.  The entrance to the park also features the newly restored World War 1 Memorial Monument which stood for decades in front of the Orchardvale School. The school building had two more occupants following districts consolidation. First it became Post #130’s home when membership jumped following World War 2 and then the Grange Hall.
