This monument was erected by the Americans in memory of the 28,000 young soldiers who fought to retake this hill.
The 234 steps of the 60-meter high tower are topped by an allegory of Liberty holding a flaming torch. President Roosevelt inaugurated the monument on August1, 1937, in an X-rayed speech. At the back, the ruins of the collegiate church of Montfaucon stand out. Destroyed and then occupied by the Germans, Montfaucon was retaken in September 1918 thanks to the actions of the5th U.S. Corps and the 505th French Regiment.

Un très beau monument dressé en hommage aux nombreux jeunes Américains qui ont laissé leur vie dans ce coin d'Argonne. Nous l'avons découvert, sa blancheur immaculée tranchant sur le bleu sans nuage du ciel. A l'arrière, les ruines tout aussi photogéniques d'une ancienne abbaye. Ajoutez à cela des arbres dignes d'un été indien, c'est extrêmement beau et pur. Le silence qui règne en ce lieu appelle au recueillement.

La vue du dessus est vraiment très belle, on comprend pourquoi ce site était un lieu stratégique tant on y domine les environs. La tour offre également une belle vue plongeante sur les ruines de l'église située à proximité.
