Lion Bn on the Memorial Grove

Alumni of the 23d Chemical Battalion are on a mission to erect a memorial in honor of all KIA/MIA of the Lion Battalion at the Chemical Corps Memorial Grove at Fort Leonard Wood. The goal is to have the dedication ceremony performed during the Chemical Corps 100th  anniversary this summer.

The memorial will consist of a replica of the 23d Chemical Battalion Lion that currently sits with the unit in South Korea. The replica will be mounted on a granite pedestal base and will have brass memorial plates honoring those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and 23d Chemical Battalion Lineage and Honors.
