This is the State of Wyoming's Veterans Memorial Park in Cody, Wyoming. It memorializes all of those lost in war from Wyoming, from World War One on. Each war from World War one on, has its own section.
It's a really nice memorial park, so perhaps a person shouldn't offer criticism, but it's odd that the Spanish American War is omitted. Wyoming did loose men during the Spanish American War, and likely did during the Philippine Insurrection as well. A person might arguably also include the Indian Wars, although there were never any units raised in any fashion during the Indian Wars which participated in them, which is not surprising given the small population in the state at the time. So the omission of the Indian Wars is not surprising.
