CURRENTLY KNOWN LOCATIONS OF VIQUESNEY'S DOUGHBOY
E. M. Viquesney often boasted in his ads that "over 300" of his "Spirit of the American Doughboy" memorials were placed across the country, and that at least one of them could be found "in every state of the Union" (48 at the time). But the statue, or records of formerly existing ones, have only been found in the following 39 states*. Nevertheless, it's still possible to travel across the country east-west or north-south and always be in a state which has one or more.

*Nebraska once had a "Spirit of the American Doughboy" in Omaha, the only one in the state, but it was stolen around 1959 and never replaced. Thus today the number of states with existing Viquesney Doughboys is 38.
