Das abstrakte Kriegerdenkmal ehrt die Führung und die Männer der 4. Infanterie Division der US Armee, welche im "Battle of the Bulge", im Dezember 1944, die linke Flanke des deutschen Vorstoßes mit Lt. General George S. Patton in die amerikanischen Linien gehalten haben und die Stadt Luxembourg retteten.
Als Dankeschön für diese tapferen Kämpfer weihte HRH, der Großherzog Jean von Luxemburg, am 3. Juni 1984 dieses Denkmal ein, das von der Gemeinde Niederanven und der Amicale des Ex-Offizieren de Reserve Luxembourgeois errichtet wurde
Die Anlage besteht aus einer absrtrakten Skulptur aus rotem Marmor, welche auf einem Sockel mit Treppe, aus dem gleichen Material, steht. Die quadratische Gedenkplakette, sowie eine kleine Infotafel aus Gußeisen wurde auf rotem Marmor befestigt.
Im Hintergrund wehen die Flaggen von Luxembourg, der USA und Frankreich.
