There is a similar monument close to where I live, it represents the soldiers who lost their lives during the first world war. It is well looked after and poppies are laid on it on remembrance Sunday.

My nan lives near to this area, I have visited a few times, whilst over from England. Obviously my nan takes great pride in showing me all of the history and culture in the surrounding area. I come from a very run down area in the South West of England and something of this nature would have been trashed by now, so it is good to see something that is fully respected by the residents in the surrounding areas.

There are many places around the world like this, which have monuments in a court yard in the middle of beautiful houses. The history which surrounds places like this is truly amazing, and residents both old and new should work hard in order to preserve their history.

Having seen the statue of General Winfield Scott, I have to say that the whole park is well worth a visit if you are in the area. The whole place is full of culture and history.

That is such a wonderful park, and historic. So I wonder, are there any old soldiers there? Seriously, it used to be open to the public–is there a chance it could be again? A GOP Congress might ask why all the cloistering.
