The 20th century was one of the most turbulent in the history of the United States. Economic depression, prohibition against spirituous drink, industrial advances beyond the imagination and four major conflicts across the world affected nearly every citizen.  Beginning with World War I until the end of the Vietnam War at the end of the century, men and women stepped forward in support of our governments call for troops to fight in these conflicts.  Washington County was no exception, supplying not only materials, but also thousands of men and women. Some gave the ultimate sacrifice.  To End All Wars stands as a modest tribute to those who served.
