The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
Gabe Stevens sculpture of the Veterans War Memorial which honors each of the fallen soldiers from their service to our country.
The Battlefield Cross is a time honored military memorial that symbolizes the honor, service and sacrifice of soldiers killed in battle.
The origin of the Battlefield Cross is believed to date back to the civil war.
The Rifle is thrust in the ground signifying that the soldier died in battle, fighting to the end.
The boots carry a soldier though the fight for freedom and are placed at the base of the rifle. They are worn and dirty to remind us of that final march.
The dog tags are hung from the rifle so that the name of the fallen will never be forgotten.
The Helmet is placed on top of the rifle representing what that person stood for and that the battle is over.
This Battle Cross monument is to show lasting gratitude, and to honor the tremendous sacrifice of our American soldiers.
