In March, the Historical Society of the Pomona Valley will celebrate its 100th year anniversary. One of the projects planned in 2016 will be on Memorial Day. The Historical Society paid to have a reproduction of the original sword that is missing from the 16-ft statue in Garfield Park of the goddess Pomona. This stature was dedicated in memory of the Greater Pomona Valley soldiers who died in World War I. The base of the memorial lists the names of local soldiers from the greater Pomona Valley who died in the war.
