I can't find any reliable source that this exists. There are a lot of mirrors when you do a search. The link provided is dead and websites that mention the memorial link to this page - creating a dead end. If it exists, I believe it fails GNG as it stands is likely not notable Gbawden (talk) 14:17, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to Patriots Point, which definitely exists. Delete, see below. Also, I don't remember seeing this when I last went to Patriots Point. Jinkinson   talk to me  15:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment I was going to make the same merge suggestion if the memorial existed, but I'm not sure it does. I found an archived version of the original reference which seems sincere if not a reliable source at http://archive.today/6KpL0 and pointers to that reference in a number of places but nothing else. Nothing at the Patriots Point website, no images anywhere. Contrast this with the South Carolina War Dog Memorial. Of course, I may have missed something beyond the original reference which is why I've labeled this as a comment. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:26, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Whoops, thanks for reminding me that was in dispute. Anyway, I have used the Wayback Machine to "resurrect" the dead link mentioned by Gbawden and the only source in the article: The dubiousness of this site and the fact that we have no way of knowing who wrote it doesn't seem to make it a RS, which is why I am striking my initial merge vote in favor of voting delete. (Also there aren't really any other sources except mirrors, as Gbawden noted.)  Jinkinson   talk to me  21:06, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Delete fails verification in a reliable source, and anyway lacks notability for failure to have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. --Bejnar (talk) 23:14, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
