The Monument des Américains on the Col du Mandray is a memorial erected in 1991 in honour of the American troops involved in the liberation of the Vosges during the Second World War. It was inaugurated by Jean Weber, a former resistance fighter and mayor of Fraize. The monument is a place of annual commemoration, where, among other things, the liberation of Fraize and Plainfaing is celebrated. During these ceremonies, flags are raised, wreaths are laid and testimonies are shared by veterans and relatives.
