var str = 'On the grounds of the Monroe County courthouse grounds is a very large monument topped by a Civil War soldier. The original memorial was dedicated by members of the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) and dedicated to the soldiers who served in all wars from Monroe County. There are relief sculptures spaced between the flat engraved sections honoring each war. On one of the four sides is etched "The Spanish American War 1898-1902" but the rest of the etching has worn away. On another side one can barely read the inscription honoring those who served in World War I and the phrase seems to read "1917-1918 For God and Country Gave Themselves That Right and Justice". The last part is too worn away to be read. And finally is engraved Mexican War 1847. The marker dominates one corner of the grounds but the etchings have been heavily worn down.';

var str = 'Along the mall resides this Doric temple which was dedicated in 1936 to honor all those from Washington who served in the military during World War I. The small temple was conceived as a bandstand and used in first half of the century during holiday celebrations such as the Fourth of July. It is comprised of Vermont marble and around the top of the rotunda is etched the words of dedication to all those who served in the armed forces. Around the base are inscribed the names of the more than 500 who lost their lives. Within the cornerstone are sealed the names of the 26,000 Americans who served in the World War I. The funds for this memorial were raised with voluntary contributions from Washingtonians.';
