La Grange men who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the World War are remembered here, and American Legion Post No. 41 of La Grange dedicated this staff on May 30, 1923 with Abraham Lincoln's words about the mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone across the land and swelling the chorus of the Union when touched by the better angels of our nature.
