var str = 'The large granite flagstaff in Madison Square Park honors all those who served in World War I and is topped by a star-shaped eternal light luminaire to remember those who were lost in the war. At the top of the pedestal is beautifully carved bronze top with rams’ heads. The flagstaff sits on an ornamental pedestal that is inscribed with patriotic tributes as well as names of important battles from the war. The monument which was dedicated on Armistice Day in 1923 remains the terminus of Veterans Day parades and the site of official commemorations. The monument was funded by Rodman Wanamaker who ran one of the great department stores in the city. The memorial was designed by Thomas Hastings and sculpted by Paul Wayland Bartlett. ';
