The Loudoun County Memorial Plaque was erected 1921, three years after the end of World War I. The plaque, on a stone monument, lists 30 names of Loudoun County residents who died serving during the Great War. The plaque originally separated the names of the three Black people of the group: Pvts. Ernest Gilbert; Valentine B. Johnson; and Samuel C. Thornton. On its 100th anniversary, November 11, 2021, the memorial was rededicated with a new plaque of similar design with all of the names listed together alphabetically, not segregated.  

Erected in 1968, this monument consists of a marble obelisk and fountains, with life-size figures of military personnel.  It honors the Alabama citizens who have served in America's wars.  A Hall of Honor commemorates those who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

This is a bronze bas-relief, sculpted by Clydetta Fulmer, a little over 4-ft. tall, mounted on a 10-ft. tall freestanding limestone wall.  Dedicated in 1992, it was commissioned to honor all who have served in wars involving the United States.  It depicts a man and a woman walking and supporting an injured man between them. All are wearing combat fatigues.  

The Alaska Veterans Memorial is an outdoor memorial grove in Denali State Park in Interior Alaska. The memorial honors Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Alaska National Guard, and Merchant Marine veterans from Alaska, as well as specific Alaskans who were awarded the Medal of Honor. There are also small memorials to the passengers and crew of military plane crashes in Alaska. The site was selected because of the scenic beauty of the area and its location between Alaska's two largest cities. On a clear day visitors can see Denali from just outside the memorial. It is 147 miles (237 km) from Anchorage and 214 miles (344 km) from Fairbanks, on a hill above the Byers Lake campground. During the main visitor season (May–August) there is a staffed visitor center and bookstore. The main memorial alcove was constructed in 1983. Governor Bill Sheffield, himself a veteran, dedicated the site in 1984.

This is a 2/3 scale skeleton form of a WWI SPAD XIII airplane.  It was sculpted by Lucky Styles, with assistance from Sgt. William Harrick, Jr.  A plaque in front gives some details about the performance of the French-built plane (Societe' Pour L'Aviation et ses Derive's).  It also commemorates Lt. Frank Luke, Jr., a Phoenix native who in his SPAD XIII downed 18 enemy aircraft and balloons during 17 days of aerial combat, earning him the distinction of being the first U.S. aviator to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.  See photo gallery for photo of Lt. Luke.

Designed by Fernando C. Navarro, this memorial consists of five black granite/marble slabs representing the military branches of service.  A pedestal has a bronze dedication plaque.  On the five slabs are etched dedication inscriptions and the insignias of the Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Army and Marines.  It was completed on November 10, 1989.

Four life-size marble figures stand back-to-back, each facing one of the four cardinal directions.  South represents a Naval Marine, east is a Sailor, north is a soldier wearing WWII Army combat gear, and west is an Air Force soldier in dress gear.  Beneath them is a marble base atop a brick planter, adorned with plaques representing their military branch.  This memorial was sculpted by Bernhard Zuckerman and placed in the Pinecrest Memorial Park cemetery in approx. 1968.

The War Memorial Football Stadium was dedicated on September 18, 1948 in memory of those who served in World War I and World War II.

The Odebolt Memorial and park area were donated to the City of Odebolt by bankers. Construction work began in 1916; the Memorial was dedicated on Armistice Day 1921.

This bronze statue sculpted by Theo A.R. Kitsun depicts a World War I infantryman looking straight ahead, holding a rifle in front of himself with both hands.  It is approximately 9 feet tall.

At the south entrance of the building is a concrete bust of a soldier, high on the wall of the building in an ornately decorated niche. The soldier wears a uniform and a helmet.  It was placed here in 1931, when the building was constructed to honor the veterans of World War I.

The George Dilboy Memorial Stadium is a multi-purpose public sports stadium, home of the Somerville Rampage semi-pro men's football team, the Boston Renegades semi-pro women's football team, as well as teams from Somerville High School, Saint Clement High School, and Matignon High School.  The stadium is named for George Dilboy*, who lived in Somerville and was awarded the Medal of Honor during World War I. The original stadium opened in 1955. It was demolished and rebuilt in 2006.

The Fountain of Honor was created by Henry Lion and dedicated in 1930 to honor all husbands and sons of Ebell Club members who served in World War I.  It is a life-sized female figure holding a flag, on a concrete base in the middle of a 16-sided fountain.  Her right arm raises an oil lamp, and she wears a flowing gown and sandals.  On opposite sides of the base are two small animal heads.  The Ebell Club was founded in 1894 and is a philanthropic, educational and social club built by women for women.

Dedicated on Veterans Day in 1992, this memorial honors the more than 5 million Californians who have served in the U.S. military since 1850.  It was sponsored by the California Veterans Memorial Commission and consists of a small plaza in a grove of mature trees, bordered by a low curved natural berm along which benches have been placed.  In the middle of the plaza is a sculptured granite obelisk representing a united force reaching upward to recognize the heroic determination of the state's veterans.  It also represents the devastation of war, being decorated with a blend of smooth black surfaces and almost ghostly images of people in determined defense of their country.  The obelisk is split into four sections, set on the four main compass points, to represent the limitless boundaries of their determination.  The split itself represents the destructive nature of war and the potential fragmenting of our nation.

On a multi-tiered marble base is a metal eagle, stretching its wings over a nest of eaglets.  It represents a slain soldier and may have been inspired by the Ohlone Indian tale of how the Santa Cruz Mountains were created.  It was dedicated on May 30, 1928, in memory of those from Santa Cruz County who served in World Wr I and the 25 who died. It was rededicated on March 23, 1993.

DEDICATED TO THOSE FROM SANTA CRUZ COUNTY WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WAR, AND TO THE MEMORY OF THESE WHO "GAVE THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION".  1914-1918

This statue in Golden Gate Park commemorates General of the Armies John Joseph (John) Pershing (1860-1948), the American general and commander from World War I.  The statue was sculpted by Haig Patigian, Armenian-American sculptor, and was dedicated on November 11, 1922.  The inscription reads: "In tribute to General Pershing and the victorious armies of the United States and her co-belligerents during the World War 1914-1918.  Presented by Dr. Morris Herzstein, 1922".  Behind Gen. Pershing's foot is a destroyed German helmet.
