Why is the 314th Infantry Regiment Memorial
Important to Us?

• Facilitates our Public History mission by
  providing a snapshot of WWI soldier
  accomplishments.
• Takes advantage of a rare opportunity to acquire
  a complete story of a fighting regiment from WWI
  ranging from Mobilization through
  Memorialization.
• Allows us the unprecedented opportunity to
  preserve an original soldier built WWI structure
  tied to the regiment.
• Ensure heightened visibility of the regiment by
  honoring the regiments memory though public
  programs, educational conferences and seminars.
• Complements our collection policy by focusing on
  the American Soldiers story.
