                  Monument of Honor

After World War II the Las Animas Fire Department erected a monument with names 
of the Bent County men and women who lost their lives in the war.  It was first 
erected at the band shell located at the northeast corner on the same block as 
Memorial School.  It was later moved to the north side of the Las Animas 
Cemetery.

These names are inscribed on the pedestals:
