V.F.W. Monument

A red granite eternal flame burns atop this 10-foot high white granite memorial. Installed in 1976, it was a Bicentennial gift from the Iowa Chapters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their Ladies Auxiliary to honor all Americans who fought overseas. It is located on the Iowa State Capitol Complex in Des Moines and is part of the Monuments and Memorials Tour.
