VETERANS MEMORIAL, from page 11
and presentations that focus on St. Louis
and its people.
Unlike other military
memorials across the country,
including the National
World War I Museum and
Memorial in Kansas City,
Soldiers Memorial’s interpretation
and preservation
of American military history
is presented through
what Sundlov calls “the
lens of St. Louis.”
“Soldiers Memorial
interprets all U.S. military
from a St. Louis
lens. Looking at St. Louis’
involvement in conflicts
throughout U.S. history from the revolution
to present day conflicts, ” Sundlov said.
“It’s a holistic look, highlighting St. Louis
stories that occurred during those conflicts
along with stories of service from those who
fought [and] those who made contributions
from the home front. This is not a museum
about war. It’s a museum about people and a
memorial to the people who served.”
Mikall Venso, Soldiers Memorial military
and arms curator, explained how those
stories are told via the museum’s long-term
exhibit “St. Louis In Service.”
“We start in the East Gallery, which
begins with St. Louis’ only American Revolution
battle, Battle of Fort San Carlos,
which stood downtown at what is now
the intersection of Walnut and 4th Street,”
Venso said. “From there, we go through the
conflicts through World War I. The West
Gallery picks up with the story with World
War II and goes through current conflicts.
During a visit you can interactively build
your own gunboat or search for individual
stories from the 1,075 names listed on
memorial’s cenotaph, the centerpiece of
the loggia that rests under the Gold Star
Mother’s ceiling mosaic.”
Venso explained how the museum’s goal
is to help people connect to personal stories,
especially those of civilians, whose work
ranged from victory gardens to making
ammunition in St. Louis plants.
“Courage” by Walker Hancock
Court of Honor at the Soldiers Memorial in St. Louis
Commemorating the centennial of the
end of World War I, the war touted as “the
war to end all wars,” is the first special
exhibit presented in the newly renovated
Soldiers Memorial Military
Museum. “World War
I: St. Louis and the Great
War” tells the story of what
life was like in St. Louis
during a time of great
change, both domestic and
abroad. Featured are 200
never-before-displayed
artifacts, including the
French 11th Field Artillery
uniform of Lt. Joseph
Desloge, ca. 1916; a trench
periscope; and an American
Red Cross canteen in
St. Louis, ca. 1918.
A perfect time to visit Soldiers Memorial
and see those items and more is Veterans
