Men of Company E - Delta Park - El Paso, Texas

Unveiling ceremony - November 7, 2008.The Men of Company E Memorial is a bronze bass monument honoring a group of young Mexican-American soldiers from the City of El Paso who were sent to Southern Italy on a tragic mission to cross the Rapido River on the night of January 21, 1944. Amidst WWII, the river was heavily fortified by the German Army, making it what some historians describe as one of the insurmountable missions in World War II. Tragically, the Men of Company E, 141st Infantry, 36th Division, whom many now refer to as the Fallen Sons of El Paso, were killed in the attempt to cross a waterway saturated with barbed wire, mines, and artillery. http://www.publicartarchive.org/work/men-company-e-memorial#date

Company E Park is at 4321 Delta Drive, El Paso, TX.

Where on Delta Street is the monument?

Question: What is the difference berween this monument on Delta St and the Ceremony activity honoring the Men of Company E to be held Downtown on 6-2-22?

Please honor the sacrifices of these soldiers that gave their lives and help to preserve the sanctity and freedoms that they and all veterans uphold - please ensure that this, and memorials and others like it are maintained with the highest dignity and are not forgotten
