Cause the flag still stands for freedom (GC81GT4): LETTER = the number of balls on top of the war memorial + 4

This cache is located near Gospel Hill War Memorial. The 3rd Ward residents erected a monument to honor ward residents who served in World War II. The names of all who served are included on the monument. Cannonballs from the Spanish American War that once sat at the park were removed decades ago because of safety concerns. The cache is an easy grab and go. It is located a short walk up the sidewalk and up the stair case (645 feet) to the Gospel Hill Memorial Park.

Enjoy the view of the city from the Gospel Hill Flag – a landmark of Altoona. BYOP. Please replace exactly as found so everyone can enjoy.
