The Altar in the Hall of
Honor
Upon the pure white marble walls of the central hall of the
Graceland Park Mausoleum are erected bronze tablets to the memory of
Sioux City Gold Stars. When the memorial will have been completed there
will be 114 tablets lettering in imperishable bronze the history of the
complete sacrifices of Sioux Cityans who laid down their lives for
their country in the World War. The gracious spirit of the Graceland
Park Cemetery Association is again manifested here. The beautiful and
costly walls of the Hall of Honor were given to the Monahan Post for
memorial purposes. The Gold Star Ceremonials enacted at the Auditorium,
May 27, 28, 29, 1923, have as one of their purposes the realization of
funds to erect tablets for those who are as yet unremembered.
