Williamsport, Maryland

The World War I Doughboy Memorial in Williamsport, Maryland is located in front of the American Legion Post 202, 400 American Legion Drive, Williamsport. This one I found because someone said to "look for the blue water tower". I did and there was the road I needed!!

The dedication in July 1926 was a big deal. Thousands came out for the ceremony and the street carnival celebrating the Memorial. The Maryland governor at the time, Albert Ritchie, became the first governor to visit Williamsport.

Today the Memorial also includes markers to commemorate the wars and military actions since World War I including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Grenada and Panama. It also looks like they have one to be prepared for what I presume will be for Iraq and Afghanistan.
