Description of Memorial: M60a3 Patton tank, with a small stone mounted in the ground at the front end of the tank. Three flag poles, with flags, to the right front of the tank.
Well groomed area, just before entering this Illinois town. Not much else here. Located just off the Historic National Road, which is not US-40 in this area, actually IL-140. A very pleasant drive and worth the trip.
Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Not listed
