Located at the intersection of Garden Street and Concord Avenue in Cambridge, MA, is a bronze statue of a U.S. soldier holding a rifle. On the front is an emblem for Spanish War Veterans which features a native Filipina woman kneeling at the feet of two U.S. servicemen. The back reads: “This monument erected by the City of Cambridge to her sons who on land and sea defended the nation’s honor in the war with Spain, the insurrection in the Philippines, and the China Relief Expedition 1898-1902.”
