Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

These stainless steel statues sculpted by Frank Gaylord represent several branches of service: Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force. Look for two Marines carrying a machine gun and mount, the Air Force forward air observer with a fur hat, and the Navy corpsman who is not carrying a weapon. Other soldiers represent different roles in a combat patrol, from rifleman and heavy rifleman to squad leader, radioman, and forward artillery observer.
