The Doughboy Monument at DeBardeleben Park is a statue that was originally dedicated in 1922. It was sculpted by E. M. Viquesney, who referred to it as a homage to World War I – the war to end all wars. Visitors will be able to see honor roll plaques on both sides of the base naming soldiers who were killed or died in service. It was refurbished and rededicated in 1999 by the State of Alabama Historical Park and Historical Site Maintenance Program as a remembrance to future generations of the blood that was shed by past generations for the peace and liberties we enjoy today.
