Soldiers Memorial

Cake salute

 

Soldiers Memorial is a memorial to honor Missouri men and women who "made the supreme sacrifice in the World War." It has preserved a wide range of military artifacts in memory of fallen soldiers who served in the United States military. 

 

The cake celebrates The Spirit of St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh. It has painted images of Lindbergh flying The Spirit. Wrapped around one of the layers was some plastic material. As you walk around to the back of the cake you can see it was to represent Lindbergh's scarf.

 

I have heard others say that Charles Lindbergh did not serve in the military, well not only was he the first man to fly solo, nonstop across the Atlantic

Ocean, he was a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was also awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic

exploit.
