The monument sits underneath the Minnesota state flag in the courtyard. A plaque at the base of the flagpole that was already present reads, “In memory of our fallen comrades in arms so others may live.” One soldier commented that those words fit perfectly with the monument to remember the ultimate sacrifice made by Red Bulls in the past. The “Red Bull” moniker comes from World War II. During the war, German soldiers called members of the 34th Infantry Division “red devils” and “red bulls” for their tenacity in battle. The latter nickname stuck.
