Augusta, Georgia World War I monument

On Greene Street in Augusta, Georgia there are several military monuments and memorials. One of them is the World War I Monument. 

Remember those who fell this Memorial Day. Remember the veterans who are no longer with us.


The monument reads on one side, "The men of Richmond County, of every creed and color, who served at their country's call that aggression and lawless force should not dominate the world." 

On the other side it says, "What stands if freedom fall? - Kipling 1914, 

The longer quote from Rudyard Kipling is, "There is but one task for all --One life for each to give. What stands if Freedom fall?"
