Minneapolis Memorial Parkway,
Victory Memorial Drive and
Victory Memorial Drive Plaza
This is the grandest and largest World War 1 Memorial I have seen in my travels. A walk and drive here is a must if you visit Minneapolis.
Both, the Memorial Parkway and Victory Memorial Drive, are a section of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The parkway runs along the northwestern and northern boundaries of the Camden community. The Victory neighborhood in Camden derives its name from this parkway. Trees and individual memorial markers located throughout the green belts on either side of the Drive and Parkway were established to honor the memory of the 568 servicemen of Hennepin County, who died in combat and from wounds, disease or accident in the World War. A flag pole plaza, flanked by flowering trees, greets visitors passing along the northwestern curve of the parkway. On the Plaza there are many bronze plaques that tell the story of this project and list the names of the Hennepin County soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who made the Supreme Sacrifice in defense of freedom. A concrete strip on the plaza behind the flag pole perfectly lines up with the flag pole’s shadow at 11AM on November 11th and is inscribed “ARMISTICE DAY 1918”. The Plaza received a major facelift in about 1976.
Charles M. Loring, the influential Minneapolis parks commissioner who put up the funds for the Elm trees that lined the parkway, insisted on Elms – in what is now a bitter irony, Loring wrote that given time and space, “they will in time become giants of strength and beauty.” In actuality, many of the Elms succumbed to disease and were replaced with Hackberry trees. A wide central boulevard provides a recreational park that sees much activity during the warm seasons. The GAR Memorial, Grand Army of the Republic (Union Army Civil War Veterans Assn.) and Lincoln statue across from the Plaza are a visitors bonus.
This memorial is located on Black Jack Road south of Geyser Falls Water Theme Park off of Highway 16. The circular half-wall memorial is made of red granite; the signage on the wall proclaims “Chahta Tushka Siah Okih” – “I am a Choctaw Warrior!” – and is made of cast bronze. The floor is designed with a sunburst pattern with the Tribal seal of the Mississippi Choctaws in the center. Surrounding the seal are logos of the branches of the U.S. Armed Services.

The World War I Montfaucon American Monument, dedicated in 1937, is located seven miles south of the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial and 20 miles northwest of Verdun, France. It consists of a massive granite doric column, surmounted by a statue symbolic of liberty, which towers more than 200-feet above the war ruins of the former village. It commemorates the American victory during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive during the period September 26, 1918 to November 11, 1918, when the American First Army forced the enemy to conduct a general retreat on this front. On the walls of the foyer are an engraved map of the operations with a narrative and a special tribute to the American troops who served here. The observation platform on top of the memorial is reached by 234 steps and affords magnificent views of this battlefield.
