Things to see - Washington City Veteran’s Memorial

A monument dedicated to Washington City veterans with a plaque that reads
Dedicated to our Washington City Heroes“Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.”
-Lieut.-Colonel John McCrae.
There is also a walkway containing bricks with the names of Washington City Veterans carved on them.
