Indiana World War memorial, Indianapolis


"Indiana's World War Memorial covers five Indianapolis blocks and is an open plaza, set with imposing Architectural Works. The main Shrine is of Indiana Limestone, whose sculptured walls depict World War scenes. A 100-ft. granite obelisk symbolizes the Nation's power. The American Legion's National Headquarters also stands on memorial Plaza."

This particular postcard was sent in 1945! WOW! The last time I visited here, many of the artifacts on display were from WWII and later conflicts. If you have not visited this great area in Indianapolis, please do. This is an extremely under appreciated site that will impress you.

Oh, and this card has a great message from one girl to another. She tells her friend back home that she should have been on the train with her. There were many soldiers... and she could have had her pick!
