Post 50 got the ball rolling on the creation of a memorial park on Mount Hosmer, the bluff that rises above Lansing's business district. The memorial is named for three Lansing men who were killed during the Great War: William Beck, Robert Strong, and George Glynn.

 

 

Overlook above the Mississippi River. This point is actually Glynn Point. The sign in the photo is incorrect.
