Basic Info:
- A monument is a city block containing a statue or similar piece of public art, without a building in it. It is functionally equivalent to a street, except that players with the Tagging skill can gain 2 XP for writing graffiti on a monument.
- This is, game-play wise, an empty block, and cannot be barricaded.

[edit] History
This statue is dedicated to the Barrel Roll Offensive of 1917.
The offensive (also known in history as The Remembrance Day Offensive, The Nashville Offensive, or The Custer Offensive) is notable in history for being the first occasion in warfare where barrels (tanks) were used en masse to break through enemy lines and achieve a tactical and strategic breakthrough. Over three hundred barrels were collected by Custer and lined up along a two mile stretch of front. After a short but intense artillery barrage, the barrels, led by Lieutenant Colonel Irving Morrell, charged forward and ripped a wide hole in the Confederate line, forcing the Confederates to fall back and retreat toward the Nashville line, where the offensive ended and resettled into trench warfare. The offensive carried First Army to within artillery range of Nashville, and within the battle's end shelling of the capital of Tennessee commenced.
General Custer was under orders from the General Staff to use the barrels in a formation prescribed by the War Department, which had the machines stretched out piecemeal over the entire army front and supporting local infantry attacks. Custer, a former cavalryman who'd graduated last in his West Point class, thought differently. He arranged the barrels as he thought fit, lying about it to Chief of Staff Leonard Wood and even President Theodore Roosevelt, claiming that he was making the formation order of operations up to confuse alleged Confederate spies. When the Barrel Roll Offensive (named so after a popular tourist spot in Niagara Falls) proved wildly successful, the War Department quietly changed their barrel doctrine.
