The Torch

Apr 2017 • Friends

It is a nice piece of History,Cold War.Miami is pan Americanism.Fidel Castro was the reason for this monument,in 1960, and many other communists were promoting anti-Americanism. Miami is much less Anglo today after these failed socialist paradises.

In memory of a friendly President

Sep 2016 • Friends

Located on Biscayne Boulevard, in memory of the friendly president John F. Kennedy, one of America’s most beloved presidents.

Built in 1960.

A symbol of goodwill and friendship in the form of an obelisk with a flame fueled by natural gas or so they say.

After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the monument was dedicated to his memory.

Always promote Friendship!

Apr 2016

The Torch of Friendship on the right was dedicated by the city of Miami in 1960 to the everlasting friendship of our neighboring countries. The torch is the centerpiece of the memorial. Behind the torch are plaques representing different countries. On the farthest north end of the wall of plaques is the dedication of the memorial to the memory of John F. Kennedy, January 1964.

Flame of Friendship

Jan 2023 • Couples

A nice monument to friendship, in front of Bayside Marketplace. Not worth a special trip, but do pop and see it if you are in the area.

BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT DEDICATED TO FRIENDSHIP WITH THE PAN AMERICAN COUNTRIES !!!

Jun 2016 • Solo

I remember when this monument was dedicated to the Friendship with Pan American countries in 1960, and I was here when it was re-dedicated to President John F. Kenedy after his assassination in 1963. This monument hold many memories for me. It is a wonderful symbol of friendship among the people of the Americas.
