In the summer of 1973, five Legion members and friends made a trip of approximately 200 miles to get a cenotaph. With a donated truck, D4 cat and time, a 400-ton jade rock was loaded and brought to Fort St. James. The jade was placed in front of the Village Office and forms for cement placed. After the cement set, a diamond-faced circular saw was used to face the front. A lot of these bits were given to Legion members (and some stolen.) A bronze plaque is on front. Three flag poles are set in the cement behind the cenotaph. Flags are raised for November 11 and various other times of the year. The Cenotaph was dedicated April 21, 1979, by the Legion Padre. It was also the 15th anniversary, so all past and present Zone Commanders were present for the parade and dedication. In the summer, the cenotaph is surrounded by lawn and flowers.
