Additional information about the site:
One of the most visible structures in Congress Park is the War Memorial overlooking the park's main pond. The memorial was dedicated in 1931, eight years after the end of World War I. Over the years, plaques have been added for other wars inside the columned structure.
In 1999, the city started a Veterans Walk of Honor leading up to the memorial. By selling bricks with veterans' names on them, the city has raised about $150,000, which goes into a special account for the memorial's upkeep.

Although the marker is a typical looking Roadside Plaque, it's not actually located along a road. It's instead located on a path in Congress Park that leads to the World War Memorial Pavilion.
