On 18 June 2006, ten days after the conclusion of the War with Mustachistan, a War Memorial was dedicated in Molossia. Located near the new location of the Tower of the Winds, the monument was a simple column with a lion statue at the top. The lion represented victory and strength, while its stance (statant as opposed to rampant) was meant to suggest thoughtfulness as opposed to aggressiveness. The column itself was made up of twenty layers, one for each day of the war, plus one for each of the two major battles fought by Molossian troops. | On 18 June 2006, ten days after the conclusion of the War with Mustachistan, a War Memorial was dedicated in Molossia.
