La Crosse City Vision Foundation‘s newest project is a bronze statue of an American flag and the bald eagle sculpture was placed in Riverside Park, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
This sculpture is to honor our US military. Our US military has six branches: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force and Coast Guard.
The six emblems, of those branches of service, are placed around our bronze flag.
Thank you to our Veterans Memorial Statue, Ring of Honor, Sponsors.
The bronze statue of the American flag represents the original 13 Colonies with its stripes and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union.
The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782. The bald eagle with its outspread wings is the Great Seal of our country. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America.
Our Veterans represent the freedom, dignity, and true meaning of being an American. To honor our Veterans, La Crosse City Vision Foundation has placed this bronze statue with granite bricks to stand in Riverside Park for years to come.
