July 7 Veterans 20th Century Memorial - North Platte,NE.

This is nearly 6 feet tall and tells the history
and mission of the AF and Marines.  On 4 other
sides are the names of Nebraska troops who died
in each 20th century war.  WWII takes up 1-2/3rd
sides with the names small and divided by a comma.
This part of the memorial alone must have cost a fortune
since the letters on all sides are raised.
a statue of a canteen worker with a basket of candy bars and cigarettes stands outside the memorial
