The "Last Stop" for WW II soldiers- Piermont, New York




On a day trip to Piermont, New York I found this statue dedicated to the men who fought and died in WW II. The statue is called “Last Stop USA” and is appropriately placed in the last spot US soldiers would step foot on in the USA before embarking to Europe- off of the Piermont pier. 40,000 US troops per month passed through to board ships headed for the shores of Europe, many of whom never came home.
