Veteran’s Memorial

The Healing Power of Art

Levee Park

This sculpture is designed to reflect and remember the impact that war exerts upon our military veterans, male and female, both as an active soldier on duty, and afterwards, in the transition coming home as an American civilian.

Plate #1: Depicts two soldiers standing together to show the profound experience as an American soldier confronted with relocation, training, duty assignment, responsibilities, commitment, combat, and personal expectations.

Plate #2: Depicts two civilians standing together to show the “other experience” when active duty ends, rotating home, physical and mental rehabilitation, adjustment, a new perspective, the resurgence as an American civilian.

Note: These plates are positioned 20 inches apart with the featured figures of each plate aligned with the other to show the close and enduring bond between soldier and civilian that is ever-present in the minds and the souls of those who have dedicated so much to the protection of our country.
