                We Honor Those Who Served to Protect Our Freedoms...
                         And We must continue to Protect Those Freedoms!

The Soldiers and Sailors Monument, atop East Rock Park, stands majestically over New Haven. From the vantage point the spires of Yale University are clearly visible.

Dating from 1887, the 112 ft column is dedicated to those who fought in the American Revolution, War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War.
