Eternal flame highlights this monument Maumee Honor Rolls & GAR Post 84 Memorial
Downtown Maumee, US-20
Maumee, Lucas County
Erected June 27, 1883
"In loving memory of our war dead World Wars I & II
May they rest in peace"
Grand Army of The Republic
In memory of the heroes of the War of 1862"
This particular memorial sits at the edge of an elementary school. As I took the photos I wondered if the children of the school were ever told what a cenotaph was, or if their history instruction explained what it meant to the City of Maumee for these men to go off to war and not come back.
