Memorials Placed - National VA Cemeteries (July 2018 Update)

Construction is now complete on five granite monuments honoring the legacy of the Americal Division during its three eras of activation as a U.S. Army infantry division. The final design concept was conceptually different that the original intent, due primarily to difficulties achieving the intricate design cut into the granite for the Americal Division crest.

 

The first monument was placed at the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery, located in Grand Prairie, Texas. Installation was complete in November 2017.
