Road Trip: Soldiers Walk Memorial Park ~ Arcadia, Wisconsin

Thanks to rabidralph for the tip for us to visit Soldiers Walk Memorial Park this week!

No visit to Wisconsin would be complete without a tour of the beautiful 54 acre Memorial Park and its' unique tribute to veterans of all wars and conflicts located just 40 minutes North of LaCrosse in Arcadia, Wisconsin.

 Stroll along the Avenue of Heroes, which is handicap accessible, to witness exceptional memorial statues of the fighting men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy today.

The Avenue of Heroes Walk is laid out in meters with each meter representing one year. The Walk Way covers 500 years from the establishment of Arcadia in 1854 until 2354. Memorial plates note events in the history of Arcadia. Strolling east again, you will see the Civil War “Boy” Soldiers, which gives recognition to the under-age soldiers who took part in the Civil War.

All of the flower beds on the walk are measured in meters. One meter represents one year of that particular war As you stroll down the walk, you will see next in view the statue of Abraham Lincoln from the Civil War era and a bit further down the walk, you will see the Angel of Mercy monument in memory of the Asian War Movement.

Hiya Luvvy!

You do love your road trips, LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...((HUGS))...any snow yet?

We got a couple inches. A little more dusting today, but ice tonight.

[luvie]

Sure do! Been taking the FReeper one for 10 years this year! :)

How are you tonight? (((hugs)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, Luv...how was Black Friday?

I see you survived.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

I did not Sally Forth today - apparently I had a 24 hour bug. I woke up several times during the night and by the time Mrs. MacNessa arose - 0600 - I was still feeling wretched. I tried to call in to the Office, but my calls were bounced up to the New York Office. It seems there was a protest in the area of my Office and I probably could not have gotten in regardless of my condition.

Feeling better this evening - will be retiring in a few minutes - back to the 0430 Reveille after a five-day weekend! :)

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

(((HUGS))) Kathy, I’m doing well, no snow but freezing rain on the way, (Oh Boy!)

[PROCON]

I’m doing well my FRiend; loving being lazy in retirement!

[luvie]

I did survive and it was busy, busy, busy! Not like it will be the week before Christmas, but it was very steady. We did over $20,000 for the day. Whew!

Must retire for the evening -

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.
