The moss-covered “Devil Dog” fountain located in Belleau, France, symbolizes the spirit of the Marines who fought during World War I. The defeated Germans called the Marines Teufel Hunden, or “Devil Dog,” and the Marine Corps took their new nickname with pride. The area was renamed to Bois de la Brigade de Marine to commemorate the Marines of 4th Marine Brigade who stopped the Germans from entering Paris.
