World War I’s neglected monuments getting spruced up

The tower once featured bronze plaques with the names of WWI soldiers from the area who perished. The centennial of America’s involvement in World War I has drawn attention to the state of disrepair of many monuments honoring soldiers, galvanizing efforts to fix them.
