WORLD WAR I

Philip M. Hamer, Ph. D. on the Distinguished Service Award for Heroic Service in the World War.

"It is a monument of which the people may well feel proud.  There is nothing to compare with it in the South and little to compare with in in the Nation and when the generation which built it shall have passed away and beholders of another era shall come to look upon it, they will see in the classis beauty of its Grecian lines the love and veneration which the people of our time had for those who upheld the honor and glory of our state in lands beyond the sea in the greatest war of all time."
