AMERICAN LEGION POST #14 - BOZEMAN, MONTANA

Montana’s Fatality Marker Program

Numerous enough to notice, infrequent enough to be startled at seeing, and inspiring reverence, sorrow, sympathy, curiosity, and caution. For over 50 years, the white crosses that mark the sites of fatal traffic accidents along the highways of Montana have affected us all as we drive by, reminding us of the danger of the road, as well as the lives that have been lost on these highways.

The Montana American Legion has been placing markers beside the road in the location of a fatality as a SAFETY reminder and not as a memorial.
