The Second Division Memorial was originally constructed to memorialize the United States Army Second Division's dead from World War I. Since its construction, two additions have been made to honor the dead of World War II and the Korean conflict.

The flaming sword, shown in the photograph above, is a symbolic impediment to the German advance on Paris.
