A large cement historical marker is dedicated to the memory of Merle D. Hay. It can be found on a little gravel access road in front of the Merle Hay Memorial Cemetery in Glidden. The middle of the granite marker shows an etching of a man carrying a fallen soldier and two side “wing” markers hold the message:
“The State of Iowa has caused this memorial to be erected to commemorate the sacrifice of Merle D. Hay and all his Iowa comrades who gave their lives for their country during the World War.”
“Merle D. Hay Co. F. 16th Infantry A.E.F. killed near Artois France November 3, 1917. The first Iowa soldier and one of the first three soldiers of the United States killed in action in the World War.”
