This memorial is one of E. M. Viquesney's "Spirit of the American Doughboy" statues. It was originally placed and dedicated at Sunset Park. It was later lost in a flood and later recovered, vandalized, lost again, recovered, and restored. After a chaotic history, it now can be found in the lounge of the Funkhouser American Legion Post No. 8.
