It was installed a few months ago alongside Freedom Rock at Young's Park in the small town of Knoxville, Iowa.

"It was clear to us it was a memorial to fallen veterans," Mayor Brian Hatch told me. But it wasn't clear to everyone.
About a month ago a citizen filed an anonymous complaint -- arguing that the memorial was promoting Christianity and therefore violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Mayor Hatch told me the city council ignored the complaint.
