#W53 to #W78 pictures are of the obelisk, the wall with the names, the plaques and the grounds next to this Wall and Obelisk WWII Death March Memorial.

The Capas National Shrine, located in the area of the former WWII POW Camp O’Donnell, was visited by friends on the 19^th Dec. 2024 and we generated these pictures. This Shrine certainly helps you to remember all The Death, The Destruction and The Sacrifice of WWII; I like to come here every so often. Three good URLs are available to refresh your memory:
