THIS MEMORIAL HONORS THE LOCAL SERVICEMEN WHO PAID THE SUPREME SACRIFICE DURING WORLD WAR I. AT THE END OF THE WAR IN 1918, LOCAL CITIZENS FORMED THE BRONX VICTORY MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. THIS ASSOCIATION CREATED A MEMORIAL DEPICTING A FALLEN SOLDIER, PROTECTED BY A COMRADE WHO STANDS VIGILANT WITH BAYONET IN HAND. AT HIS FEET, AN EAGLE WITH WINGS SPREAD SYMBOLIZES THE VICTORIOUS CALL TO ARMS.
