Veteran's memorial hall and War Memorial

Veteran's Memorial Hall was built as a meeting place for the veterans who fought in "The Great War," as World War I was referred to at the time.  The United States engaged in World War I from 1917 to 1918.  A stone monument with a bronze plaque was placed beside in the grassy area beside Veteran's Memorial Hall "In Memory Of Our Heroic Dead." The bronze plaque names some of the Roseville casualties from three different wars but the list is not complete.

This bronze statue, "The Rescue Of The Lost Battalion," commemorates the heroic efforts of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team for their heavy sacrifice to secure the safety of the 1st Battalion of the 141st Infantry Regiment, which had been surrounded by German forces in the Vosges Mountains of France. These rescuers, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was comprised mostly of Japanese-American soldiers, many of whom had family confined to interment camps in the western United States.

A semi-circle of stone monuments with names and text, wraps around the back side of the bronze statue. A granite monument "Placer County WWII Nikkei Veterans," lists the names of Japanese-Americans from the region who served in the United States military during World War II.

Other monuments circling the statue relate the stories of bravery and loyalty of the Nikkei soldier in World War II. To read the inscriptions with stories of Nikkei veterans, click here.
