Located within a small park containing rose gardens and dedicated trees is a large Douglas fir tree. There's a small plaque at the tree's base that reads:

ADMINISTRATION IN 1976 TO
AMERICA'S MEDAL OF HONOR

This Douglas fir has been slowly pushing up the concrete sidewalks that surround the tree's base.
