Who Put it Here?: City of Dayton
Description of Memorial:
The memorial used to be on a large grassy area at the WS corner of a [relatively!] busy intersection of town. Unfortunately a new gas station has been built just to the South of this memorial in early 2015, thereby removing some of the flagpole's prominence back when it was erected.
