The American War Mothers, founded by Alice Moore French in 1917, seeks to "keep alive and develop the spirit that prompted world service, to maintain the ties of fellowship born of that service and to assist and further any patriotic work; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the Community, State and Nation; to work for the welfare of the Armed Forces of the United States; to assist in any way in their power men and women who served and were wounded or incapacitated in World Wars or Conflicts of the United States; to foster and promote friendship and understanding between America and the Allies."
This memorial is dedicated those mothers of World War I and the 387 Marion County soldiers and sailors who were killed in the war. It is located in the north end of Garfield Park, near Raymond Street and Madison Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana.
