The highway was established in 1913, and it stretched from New York City to San Francisco.

May 29, 2023: Veterans Memorial, Irwin, Pennsylvania Seen just before the start of the annual Memorial Day Parade in downtown Irwin, Pennsylvania is the Veterans Memorial, which stands at the corner of Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue adjacent to the entrance to Irwin Park. It's a tall, narrow granite slab about eight feet in height, surmounted consecutively by a globe and a bronze eagle with wings outstretched in flight, and its front face is engraved with patriotic imagery (namely a dagger and shield with stars-and-stripes insignia) and dedicatory text. The monument in its original form was dedicated on November 11, 1943 by the local J. Howard Snyder Post No. 781, V.F.W. "in honor of the men and women of Irwin and community who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America in all wars" but, in all likelihood, bearing in mind specifically the combatants in the then-ongoing Second World War. However, it has been expanded several times in subsequent years: newer elements of the ensemble include the bronze plaques flanking each side, as well as a semicircle of low square stones that ring the main slab on its rear side, individually representing each war fought by the U.S. military throughout its history (from the Revolution through the War on Terror and also including the Cold War) and each inscribed with a relevant quote from a famous political speech, work of literature, or combatants themselves.
