Newport News' Victory Arch serves as a continuing memorial to American servicemen and women. Grateful Peninsula citizens built a temporary arch, dedicated April 13, 1919, for the victorious troops marching back from "Over There." By 1960, maintenance of the wood and plaster arch was impractical. A permanent arch of stone was rededicated May 30, 1962.
