The bronze statue of the soldier's equipment - boots, helmet and rifle is a visible reminder of honoring our fallen soldier.

​

• The helmet and identification tags identify  the fallen soldier.

• The inverted rifle with the bayonet signals a time for prayer and a break from the action to pay tribute to the dead.

• The combat boots represent the final march on the last battle.

 

These soldiers have taken place in their final battle. This is a way we say goodbye to our brothers and sisters in arms.

 

Behind each soldier is a family.  Families lives are forever changed by the loss of their loved ones who has served in the armed forces. Families serve too.

 

The Symbol on the front of the granite pedestal shows a woman's hand clutching he American Flag that has been draped over her husband, son or daughter's coffin.  Besides her memories, this is all she has left of her loved one.
