This is a very simple memorial - just a flag pole with a plaque, but it's a nice place to visit. Suavie Island is a special place: it comprised of approximately 30,000 acres of land and lakes bounded by the waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Visitors are invited to enjoy its scenic drives thru farm and dairy lands, hunting and fishing.
