Does anyone know what it represents? (there are several plaques, but they're too small to read from the google-mobile)

But that's not all.
A few feet away from the pillar is this odd vent-like thingy (there's an opening at the top)

For the life of me I can't figure out what is it.
When I viewed it from this angle (below) I thought it might be an emergency vent related to the large tanks across the street. (but I admit that's a wild guess)

Here's one last look at both the thingy and the pillar.

Called Los 5 Puntos and talked to 'Javier' (perfect English) asked him if he knew what the white rocket-looking monument was and he said it was a monument to Mexican veterans and I asked if it was for any specific war and he called out to a buddy nearby who said he didn't think it was any particular war, just 'Mexican veterans'. How appropriate.
