              <text>The First Division Monument, funded by the Society of the First Division, was first created to remember First Division soldiers who died while serving in World War I. The Monument, designed by Cass Gilbert and &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/501"&gt;Daniel Chester French&lt;/a&gt;, was dedicated in 1924. Since then, additions to the monument have been built to commemorate service in World War II, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. Cass Gilbert Jr., son of the original sculptor, designed the World War II addition.</text>
