Geocache Description:


This ammo can is an opportunity for you to go "Exploring New Places" hidden in support of the MiGO 2020 Winter Social.    Construction nearby will require some stealth.  

The Arc de Triomphe Paris, the most monumental of all triumphal arches, was built between 1806 and 1836. Even though there were many modifications from the original plans (reflecting political changes and power struggles), the Arch still retains the essence of the original concept which was a powerful, unified symbol for France.

The Arc de Triomphe stands at the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the “Place de l’Étoile”. It’s located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arches whole decorative style is entirely of the tradition of sculpture from the first half of the nineteenth century.

The triumphal arch is in honor of those who fought for France (and in particular, those who fought during the Napoleonic wars). Engraved on the inside and at the top of the arch are all of the names of the generals and wars fought. There are inscriptions in the ground underneath the vault of the arch which include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I where  the Memorial Flame burns and have made the Arc de Triomphe Paris a revered patriotic site. 

Human history is not limited to the United States and this monument honors the service and sacrifice of those who were called by duty to serve thier nation.  This cache is a reminder that we would not be an independent nation, if not for the support of France, during our struggle for independance more than two hundred years ago!

FTF Prize includes a FTF Magazine, FTF Card and, choice of several pieces of SWAG. Please remember to trade SWAG even or UP!
