Wyoming is also the only state in the Union to have all of
it's War Dead on a single monument, from the "Bloody Year on the Plains", 1865,
to August 17, 2006. Based on population, Wyoming has suffered more deaths than
any other state since Wyoming's population is less that 500,000. The monument is
entitled Sun Up Memorial Wall.
The only First Responders Monument in the entire nation,
entitled The GUARDIANS, is located near Platte Bridge Station, now known as Fort
Caspar. This monument was begun in February,2001, to honor the fire and police
who protect our community. Money could not be raised until after 9/11 and
thirty-seven agencies are now honored on this monument. Their logos are on the
ring surrounding the silhouette of Lt. Caspar Collins as he is killed by
hostiles, July 26, 1865.
