Where at least I know I'm free (GC81GRX): LETTER = (Day the Blair County War Mothers Memorial was dedicated – 10) - 2

In 1933, Kittanning Trail road was formally dedicated as the Blair County Memorial Road to local veterans.  Peter Lombardi of Juniata Gap, a World War I veteran, erected two stone obelisks marking the road.  They were renovated in 1992 when the road from Broad Ave and 40th Street to the underpass by the Horseshoe Curve was designated by the state as the Blair County Veterans Memorial Highway. 

The Endress War Memorial was dedicated on Oct 21, 1945.  Residents of the Endress school area, including Locust Hills, old South Altoona and Broad Avenue Extension raised the money for the 14-foot stone pyramid.  When dedicated, the memorial contained the names of 153 men and women from that part of the city serving in World War II, with gold stars signifying the four who died while serving.  In his dedication speech, William Robert Fuoss of Tyrone urged that “Americans keep the same spirit in peace that won for us the war.”
