New York Korean War Veterans Memorial

Freedom Tower and September 11th Memorial, New York City.

American Merchant Mariners' Memorial, Battery Park, New York

The memorial to American Merchant Marines during World War Two. The number of casualties endured by Merchant Mariners during World War Two is horrific, and at least for part of the war it was the single most dangerous service to be in.  This stark memorial commemorates their service with a memorial that frankly contemplates the death of all three merchant seamen depicted in the memorial.

Cheyenne Wyoming's Buffalo Soldier Monument, Vernon Baker Monument, and Military History Park

These are photographs of a small park in  Cheyenne Wyoming, just off of F. E. Warren Air Force Base, which was formerly Ft. F. E. Warren, and originally Ft. D. A. Russell.  the park memorializes various things significant to Cheyenne's military history, which has always been  a significant aspect of Wyoming's capitol.

The most notable feature of the park is an African American cavalryman, a "Buffalo Soldier".  Ft. D. A. Russell saw troops of the 9th Cavalry, one of the two all black cavalry regiments in the segregated Army, stationed at the post.

The monument includes a memorial to 1st Lt. Vernon J. Baker, a Cheyenne native, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during World War Two.

The monument also contains informational signs concerning Cheyenne's long military history.

Another Wyoming highway marker that's on the old highway, rather than the Interstate Highway. This marker is south of Glendo Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Ft. Laramie, Deadwood Trail, 1868-1887

This post is somewhat off topic here, but this is a marker for the Cheyenne, Ft. Laramie, Deadwood Trail.  The marker is on the old state  highway, but is visible in terms of its location from the present Interstate Highway.  It's north of Cheyenne.
