    A stone memorial structure featuring a large bas-relief eagle sculpture with spread wings, clutching what appears to be a shield decorated with stars and stripes. The Roman numerals 'MCMXVIII' (1918) are inscribed at the top, and the inscription 'TIME WILL NOT DIM THE GLORY OF THEIR DEEDS' appears at the base. This is consistent with a World War I American military cemetery or memorial.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
