Two white gateposts stand as markers at the entrance to Fort Stotsenburg, a former U.S. military fort established in the early 20th century. Adjacent to the gateposts, on the right, is a trapezoidal block that holds a rectangular plaque. This plaque provides a historical overview of the gateposts and their significance. The memorial was erected by the Thirteenth Air Force on July 4, 1984, and has its emblem.
