Memorials by war and by institution

1924–1986 and the county parks · NOTRE DAME AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY (BOUNDARY), OSCEOLA'S OWN NEGATIVE RESTATED

Osceola itself has no war memorial in any inventory reached — the banked negative (HMdb, Waymarking, town and county-parks sources) stands and is not re-claimed here. The memorials its people use are the university's and the county's, printed at boundary size. The door: the University of Notre Dame's World War I Memorial Door — the east entrance of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, carved “God, Country, Notre Dame” — was dedicated on Memorial Day, 30 May 1924, honouring Notre Dame men who died in or as a result of the Great War; two bronze plaques bearing 56 names were placed on the doorposts in late 1925.The fountain: the Clarke Memorial Fountain (“Stonehenge”), on Fieldhouse Mall west of Hesburgh Library, designed by John Burgee and Philip Johnson, was dedicated in 1986 (dedication Mass 17 October 1986) to about 500 Notre Dame alumni who died in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, each war engraved on a lintel; a 24-hour ROTC vigil is kept there every Veterans Day.

The parks of remembrance and the airport park are carried at pointer size only: the county's Vietnam/Korea remembrance ground and the military honour park at South Bend International Airport were not verified to inventory strength from open sources, and no name, date or dedication is asserted for either. Named gap (partial): the county and airport memorial inventories — settler: St. Joseph County Parks and South Bend International Airport memorial records, checked in person or by inventory. What is dug whole here is the university pair the row names first — door and fountain — and Osceola's share is stated plainly: its students and parishioners stand in those 56 and those ~500 only where the university's rolls place them; no Osceola name is claimed from either memorial.
