World War I Veterans Monument by Stephen-KarenConn
The World War I Veterans Monument was erected 1961 by the membership of the Department of Texas, Veterans of Foreign Wars. The monument is constructed of Texas "Sunset Red" granite. Instead of naming the Texans who fought in the conflict it lists the barracks and auxiliaries that participated in the monument's erection. Although the monument is dedicated to the memory of World War I veterans, it seems to me that the real honor is given to the organizations responsible for building the monument. That's just my personal observation.
