Front of Monument looking out toward
Mississippi River - This Monument is located in Jefferson Barracks - between the Amphitheatre and the Powder Magazine Museum.

From what I have been told, and seen from looking at many other Battle of the Bulge monuments, this is only monument that has inscribed all divisions and units involved in this battle.

I would like to invite anyone out there to have their picture taken with the monument - and I would add them to this indiviual gallery!
And let us know why the monument is special to you.
