    The image shows a formal memorial or ceremonial hall with a semicircular apse displaying multiple national flags arranged symmetrically around a central stone pedestal or altar. The flags represent Allied nations, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Italy, suggesting this is a World War memorial chapel or monument. A floral wreath is placed at the base of the central pedestal, and a red rope barrier separates visitors from the display.

    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.
