This statue was erected in Hiawatha, Utah by the Henry Holdsworth Post # 15 of the American Legion May 1922, to honor five men from Hiawatha who died in World War I. In June 1948 eight names were added for those killed in World War II. In 1989 through the efforts and sole expense of American Legion Price Post #3, this statue was graciously donated to Price City by the mayor and town council of Hiawatha, Utah.
This historic marker is located in the plaza between the Coal Miners’ Memorial, the library, and the Prehistoric Museum at approximately 139 East Main Street in Price, Utah.

CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR
to
Lt. (J.G.) Wm. E. Hall, U.S.N.
At risk of his life, May 7, 1942, dive bombed and helped sink enemy carrier Shoho in Coral Sea. May 8, 1942 on anti-torpedo patrol, destroyed three enemy planes. Though badly wounded, he landed his damaged “Dauntless” on USS Lexington. His indomitable and aggressive spirit and his will to come through at all costs against tremendous odds, with utter disregard for his personal safety, is attested by his conduct on this occasion.
Entered service from Hiawatha, Utah.

The Fort Douglas Slate
Shortly after the Civil War began, President Lincoln directed the Army to establish a post near Salt Lake City. The purpose was to protect the overland mail route and to provide a federal presence in Utah Camp Douglas was established on October 26, 1862.
The roofs of the original buildings were filed with slate. Many of the slates covered these buildings for over a century. This slate presented to you today came from one of the historic buildings at Fort Douglas. Just as this Fort Douglas slate provided protection from the wind, rain, and snow over the years, so will the United States Army Reserve continue to protect and defend the people and the freedoms of the United States of America for centuries to come.

German War Memorial
The German War Memorial to the Victims of War was erected by the German-Americans of the United States of America in cooperation with the American Legion of the State of Utah in memory of the men who died while interned at Fort Douglas during World War I.
The monument was designed and constructed by Arno Steinecke. It was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30, 1933.
Fifty-five years later, in 1988, the monument was restored by sculptor Hans Huettlinger and his son John under arrangements made by the German Air Force and German War Graves Commission.
Today the restored monument stands in of the victims of both World Wars who are buried here in Fort Douglas Cemetery and to the victims of war and despotism throughout the world.
Located in the Fort Douglas Post Cemetery.

After returning home from World War II, area veterans organized and requested membership to the National American Legion Program.
January 09, 946, national headquarters issued a charter for “Hiatt-Hunt Post 80”. The post was named in honor of the fist two area sons who gave their lives for freedom and their country: Alton Hiatt of World War I, and Alma Hunt of World War II.
This monument is erected on the southeast corner of a forty acre piece of property belonging to Post 80. Many membership hours were spent in building what we see today. Post 80 is proud of its present and past membership and their accomplishments. We desire that the described property always remain in the ownership of Post 80. We want to leave this as a legacy to family and friends. We say – “Enjoy and use, but don’t abuse”.
Post 80 dedicates this monument in honor of the veterans of past wars. Anyone who puts their life on the line deserves to be treated with the utmost of dignity and respect. They are the men and women who have served our nation with honor. They have earned the right to be called “veterans” by their sacrifice and devotion to duty in some of the darkest hours our nation has known.
“I am a patriot-an American. I stand for the preservation of moral principles that this nation was founded upon. I love my country and pray that we will continue to be one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging fold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained and hoped, — but most of all, I have lived times, others would say, were forgotten. I am proud to say that I am an American – a veteran”.
