Battle of Belleau Wood Centenary

More Marines were recruited out of St. Louis than any other city as the United States prepared for and fought in WWI. The Battle of Belleau Wood was a significant battle that proved the Marine Corps was a fighting force to be reckoned with. 100 years later, a memorial service will be held to honor those who gave their lives during the war. Speakers including: A St. Louis' Marine (Ret), USMC Historian, The Mayor of St. Louis, and Commanding Officer of Recruiting Station St. Louis will honor and remember these great lives.
