{{Use mdy dates|date=June 2018}}
This is a list of monuments and memorials that were established as public displays and symbols of the [[Mexican–American War]] of 1846–1848 and its veterans on both sides. One of the most significant is the [[Mexico City National Cemetery]], one of the first U.S. national cemeteries. The U.S. did not start [[United States National Cemetery System|its official system of national cemeteries]] until an 1862 act of Congress authorized U.S. President Abraham Lincoln to proceed. However, on September 28, 1850, an American military cemetery was established in Mexico City in the aftermath of the [[Mexican–American War]].<ref name=NCA>{{cite web|url=https://www.cem.va.gov/docs/factsheets/history.pdf |title=History and Development of the National Cemetery Administration |publisher=U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs / National Cemetery Administration |access-date=April 12, 2018}}</ref>
Other monuments and memorials in Mexico commemorate those lost in the Mexican side of the conflict, particularly the [[Niños Héroes]], seven army cadets who lost their lives defending [[Chapultepec Castle]] in Mexico City.  There are other monuments in Mexico City, and in [[Monterrey]], [[Nogales, Sonora|Nogales]], [[Puebla, Puebla|Puebla]], [[San Miguel de Cozumel]], and [[Toluca de Lerdo]].
In the United States, "conspicuously missing" is any memorial to the Mexican–American War on the [[National Mall]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2017/11/23/wicked-mexican-american-war/|title=Our 'Wicked War'|first=James|last=Oakes|date=November 23, 2017|work=[[New York Review of Books]]}}</ref>  But there are monuments in California, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

[[Helen Escobedo]] in the book ''Mexican Monuments: Strange Encounters'' notes:
<blockquote>Literally hundreds of monuments commemorate the Niños Héroes, the seven boys who defended the castle of Chapultepec alone against the American invasion in 1847.  According to legend the last one alive wrapped himself in the Mexican flag and jumped off the parapet rather than surrender.<ref name="auto">Escobedo, Helen, ed., photographs Paolo Gori, essays by Nestor García Canclini, Rita Eder, Fernando González Gortázar, Jorge Ibargüengoitia, Jorge Alberto Manrique, and Carlos Monsivais, Mexican Monuments:Strange Encounters, Abbeville Press, New York, 1989 p. 158</ref></blockquote>

===Kentucky===
<!-- Text commented out for duration of DYK expected April/May 2018, because we can't tell which offline sources in [[Kentucky War Memorial] support these statements.  It would be okay for these statements to be here, supported by info in the article, but not during DYK, where a rule requires every paragraph or item to have an explicit source apparently. *[[Kentucky War Memorial]], in [[Frankfort Cemetery]] in [[Frankfort, Kentucky]], unveiled in 1850. Sculpture by [[Robert Eberhard Launitz|Robert E. Launitz]].  The monument stands over the graves of 17 Kentucky soldiers who had fallen at the [[Battle of Buena Vista]], and on one side it lists officers killed in the Mexican-American War.  The monument also commemorates the fallen from the War of 1812 and from various Indian wars.
A substitute shorter statement about the Kentucky Memorial follows, which does not assert any connection to the Mexican-American War...it is included here on basis that it is clearly explicitly supported by a direct source taken from the existing article, although the source cannot be consulted online.  I don't see how to make any other statements which can specifically be attributed to a given source.
