| Kahnawake, Quebec
The Kahnawake War Memorial was constructed in memory of veterans who died in combat that served in Canada and the United States during World War I, World War II, and the Korean Campaign.
The tall flag pole became part of the monument in November 1998. The flag pole was moved 50 feet from it's original location and erected directly behind the monument. Since the community has had large number of U.S. veterans the U.S. and P.O.W. flags are flown with the Canadian flag.
The incription on the monument reads:
1914-1918
