Simple find right off the lake in Coeur d'Alene.
A group of interested citizens planted this spruce tree in 1957 on undeveloped property owned by the city. Thus it bacame the first improvement in a public area that now includes a paved public parking lot, Tubbs hill, McEuen Field and the Third boat ramp.
After the Vietnam War, the desire to honor those missing in action led to the placement of the plaque at its base. It was with great joy that the city celebrated the safe return of the individual the plaque was dedicated to.
The tree has become a focal point for the community. It is decorated with lights for the month every Chrismas. During the Gulf War it was a natural place to tie yellow ribbons.
Information taken from the booklet, "Historical Unusual and Big Trees of Coeur d'Alene."
To get credit for this cache send me an email with the answer to the following questions:
1. What is the name of the tree on the plaque?

Hope you enjoy!
