A monument dedicated to the 761st Tank Battalion was unveiled at Fort Hood, Texas, during a ceremony attended by surviving veterans Nov. 10, 2005, as a tribute to the soldiers who served and continue to serve around the world for freedom, honor and democracy. The monument features four black granite plaques surrounding a life-size marble sculpture of a life-size member of the 761st Tank Battalion kneeling on a black granite pedestal, engraved with a tank on the front and a panther on the back.
