This is a white marble statue of a uniformed WWI soldier, standing and holding the barrel of his rifle with both hands. He wears a helmet and boots, and behind his left leg is a small rock-like for­mation. Beneath it all is a tall square granite base. 

It was dedicated by the Tabitha Walton Chapter of the D.A.R. on November 11, 1927 in Tannehill Park to honor the WWI dead of Randolph County. When a post office was to be built there in 1966, the statue was relocated to its present site and rededicated on May 11 of that year.

The Memorial Tower, now the Memorial Student Union, was conceived as a way to honor the students and alumni "who, during the Great War, just past, paid the full measure of devotion..."

The 142 foot tower is at the center of a 330 foot long building and was intended to provide a place of assembly, rest and recreation for students. The base of the tower is pierced by Gothic archways and a vaulted passage 32 feet wide. The tower was built of local stone. On the side walls of the passageway are the names of Missouri's sons whose memory the Memorial Union perpetuates. The building cost $500,000. The cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1922. Though the north wing of the building wasn't complete until 1952 and the South wing was completed in 1963.

Originally 117 names of soldiers from the Great War were carved into the tower. Later a plaque was added with the names of 338 MU men who lost their lives in WWII inscribed on it.

In a tradition that dates back to a time when most men wore hats, whenever one walks beneath the archway, they are to tip their hat as a sign of respect to their deceased brothers; in addition, every student speaks at a whisper under the archway. 

Memorial Tower, or the Campanile as it is sometimes called, is a 175-foot clock tower in the center of Louisiana State University's campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Erected in 1923 and officially dedicated in 1926, it stands as a memorial to Louisianans who died in World War I.

Upon entering the tower, visitors find the rotunda of bronze plaques bearing the names of 1,447 fallen Louisiana World War I soldiers to whom the tower is dedicated. The inside of the tower is also home to a military museum.

Minnesota's Merci Boxcar arrived in Minneapolis on February 13, 1949. The following day at 10:30 a.m. in what could only be described as miserable conditions, icy cold and windy, a brief ceremony was held on the front steps of the Capitol. Speakers included Governor Luther Youngdahl; Jacques Fermaud, the French consul in Minneapolis; J. J. Viala, the French consul general of Chicago; and Gladys Peterson, a 15-year-old school girl from Tyler, Minnesota in recognition of the work the state's school children performed when the Friendship Train came through Minnesota.

This World War I Memorial was dedicated on November 8, 1930 to the citizens of Meridien who died in World War I. It consists of a bronze eagle with the laurels of victory in its talons, sitting atop a shaft of Vermont granite, 50 feet high. There are four bronze figures, a soldier holding a rifle, a sailor holding a rifle, a nurse, and a marine with a rifle. A later plaque was added with the roll of honor of the names of those from Meridien who died during World War II.

Plaque on granite base at courthouse steps – “ Men of Meriwether Who Gave Their All”.  Listing six names from World War I.  “American Legion Post 186”.

Within the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial in France, which covers 130.5 acres, rest the largest number of our military dead in Europe, a total of 14,246. Most of those buried here lost their lives during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of World War I. The immense array of headstones rises in long regular rows upward beyond a wide central pool to the chapel that crowns the ridge. A beautiful bronze screen separates the chapel foyer from the interior, which is decorated with stained-glass windows portraying American unit insignia; behind the altar are flags of the principal Allied nations.

On either side of the chapel are memorial loggias. One panel of the west loggia contains a map of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Inscribed on the remaining panels of both loggias are Tablets of the Missing with 954 names, including those from the U.S. expedition to northern Russia in 1918-1919. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.

A renovated, 1,600-square-foot center visitor center reopened in November 2016. Through interpretive exhibits that incorporate personal stories, photographs, films, and interactive displays, visitors will gain a better understanding of the critical importance of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive as it fits into the Great War.

Four bronze plaques are set on a limestone gateway, topped by a sculpted eagle on both sides. Each plaque has approximately 110 names of war dead, and they lead to an avenue of trees to provide a living memorial to those who gave their lives in WWI. It was designed by architect Edward B. Delk and was dedicated on November 11, 1930.

Michigan War Veterans Memorial

"We trust that this memorial, when completed, will serve as a constant reminder to the youth of Michigan 
and the nation that this nation shall never perish from the face of the earth!" 
Dr. Linwood Snow, General Manager of the Michigan State Fair, August 2, 1939 
at the laying of the cornerstone for the Michigan War Veterans Memorial.

On September 10, 1939, nine days after Germany's invasion of Poland and the start of what would become World War II, the Michigan War Veterans Memorial was dedicated during a ceremony attended by 5,000 people, who were mostly veterans of the Great War and their families.

The Memorial was designed to honor Michigan's military veterans of all wars and conflicts and was dedicated "to the memory of those living or dead, who served their flag and country so unstintingly". Its four sides contain about 250 stones identifying various veterans organizations from all across the state of Michigan. Represented were organizations consisting of veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the Great War and the Allied intervention in North Russia of 1918-1919. A full list of the contributors of the stones can be found here.

Michigan's Secretary of State, Harry F. Kelly, was the main speaker during the dedication ceremony and the eternal flame on top of the memorial was lit by Augustus F. Chappell, who was commander of the Michigan Department of the GAR.

This unique Memorial is located at the northeast corner of Woodward and State Fair Avenues in Detroit, MI. For many years, the Memorial was the scene of the annual "Veteran's Day" activities of the Michigan State Fair. More information about the history of the Memorial can be found here.

Over the years, the Memorial has been sadly neglected and is now in need of significant structural and cosmetic restoration. The eternal flame's gas supply has been shut off for decades. The foundation is settling and some of the stones have fallen off. It has been estimated that it will take about $250,000 to restore the Memorial to all its former glory.
