During
the
early
1940s,
before
World
War
II
from
Pueblo
to
Trinidad,
Colorado,
anytime
anybody
mentioned
"Junior"
they
were
talking
about
Felix
B.
Mestas,
Jr.
Junior,
son
to
Felix
and
Sadie
Mestas
of
La
Veta,
Colorado,
brother
to
Waldo,
Arabella,
Olivia,
Grayce,
Stella
and
Malinda
Mestas,
died
a
hero's
death,
on
an
Italian
battle
front,
in
one
of
the
bloodiest
battles
of
the
war
on
September
29,
1944,
just
a
month
after
his
23rd
birthday.
His
bravery
that
day
was
reported
but
for
a
while
his
identity
remained
a
mystery,
lending
him
the
title
of
"The
Unknown
Hero
of
Battle
Mountain".
Soon
after,
the
complete
story
came
out.
Reported
in
newspapers
and
magazines
everywhere,
the
nation
read
accounts
of
how
PFC
Felix
B.
Mestas'
unit,
Army's
350th
Infantry
Regiment
-
88th
Infantry
Division,
after
sustaining
three
days
of
seige
from
oncoming
Nazi
soldiers,
successfully
held
Monte
Battaglia,
a
strategic
hilltop
position.
At
the
time,
Mestas
held
the
most
northern
position
of
the
all
the
Allied
Forces
in
northern
Italy.
Witnesses
recounted
how
Mestas
died
on
the
third
day
of
fighting.
With
only
one
can
of
food
rations
and
one
clip
of
ammo
left
between
them,
Mestas
stood
up
in
the
face
of
yet
another
attack
from
the
raging
enemy
soldiers
and
waved
his
buddies
off
to
safety.
Then,
with
his
20
pound
Browning
automatic
rifle
slung
off
his
hip
and
without
hope
for
his
own
survival,
he
stood
up
-
and
laid
down
enough
fire
cover
for
the
three
remaining
members
of
his
unit
to
escape
from
the
overrunning
enemy.
Twent-six
Germans
died.
The
350th
Infantry
Regiment
was
awarded
the
Presidential
Unit
Citation
and
forever
christened
with
the
nickname
"
The
Battle
Mountain
Regiment".
Mestas'
Company
Commander
Captain
Robert
Roeder
was
awarded
the
Medal
of
Honor
for
his
actions
in
this
battle.
Mestas
was
investigated
for
a
Medal
of
Honor
citation
and
postumously
awarded
the
Silver
Star
Medal.
At
home,
people
wanted
to
memorialize
PFC
Mestas
and
lobbied
to
rename
Mt.
Baldy,
a
nearby
mountain
that
had
been
Junior's
backyard
for
all
of
his
life
where
he
spent
many
days
hunting
and
fishing,
to
Mt.Mestas
in
his
honor.

The
Monument
The
Mt.Mestas
Memorial
Monument
was
commissioned
in
1955
by
the
local
VFW
for
$500
and
erected
of
Colorado
rose
granite
from
the
mountain
named
for
PFC
Mestas
and
engraved
with
the
names
of
63
men
of
Huerfano
County
who
died
in
World
War
II.
Every
Memorial
Day
since
people
have
gathered
at
the
mountain
monument
to
pay
tribute
to
all
of
Huerfano
county's
fallen
war
heros.
The
original
location
of
the
monument
was
200
miles
south
of
Denver,
Colorado
at
a
roadway
turn-out
up
on
the
La
Veta
pass
highway.
Over
the
years
the
stone
memorial
was
subject
to
vandalisn
from
people
shooting
at
it
and
the
stone
had
to
be
repaired
several
times.
Decades
later
it
was
decided
to
move
the
monument
and
it
was
placed
into
storage
in
nearby
Walsenburg.
About
1998
the
stone
was
repaired
and
re-engraved
and
at
that
time
several
of
the
names
on
the
monument
were
misspelled
and
remain
that
way
today
due
to
the
cost
of
repairing
the
stone
once
again.
Shortly
afterwards
the
monument
was
relocated
to
a
new
permanent
home
with
a
special
visitor's
area
made
for
it
in
the
parking
lot
outside
of
the
front
entry
of
the
Veteran's
Hospital
located
on
the
highway
outside
of
Walsenburg.
