Memory Trees for Soldiers Along Major Highways
A plan to plant a memorial tree for each U S soldier sailor or marine in World War I gains wide support from the American Legion G A B Gold Star Mothers and other groups. Each tree would bear a veteran’s name with no rank and a separate inscription would mark those who died. If successful the Lincoln Highway from New York to San Francisco and the Dixie Highway from Chicago to Oakland would be shaded. President Herding backs the plan and the U S forestry bureau pledges help.
