Eternal Light Flagstaff, War memorial in Madison Square Park, Manhattan, US
The Eternal Light Flagstaff rises 125 feet above Madison Square Park, featuring a luminous star at its summit and a pink granite pedestal with bronze decorations.
Dedicated on November 11, 1923, this monument honors United States service members returning from World War I, who were officially received at this location in 1918.
