Battle Monument

The Battle Monument is a carved stone structure in New York honoring American soldiers who served in World War I and World War II. The structure displays carefully worked details that shape how visitors understand the memorial's purpose.

The monument was established by the American Battle Monuments Commission to honor over 200,000 soldiers who died in major wars. This national initiative created a network of memorial sites that preserves the memory of these conflicts.

The place draws veterans and families each year who gather to remember those lost in service. These ceremonies connect community members who honor the fallen together.

The site is accessible to visitors and provides information about the soldiers honored and details about memorial events. Plan your visit around annual ceremonies to understand the full scope of what the place means.

The memorial includes specific sections listing the names of local soldiers who died, creating lasting records of their individual sacrifice. These localized names give the place a personal and intimate dimension.
