The Great Kills Veterans Memorial
This memorial is literally a 2 minute drive by my household in Bay Terrace. But this memorial captures the deceased lives of 5 veterans of war who lived in Great Kills. I found this to be a great piece of art to show because i respect the army and what they do for our country, and not for them we would not have a free country like the United States of America. They have sacrificed their lives to protect us from danger, and I take into heart their efforts. Besides from the meaning of the memorial, this art work is the work of a very good architect. The way the memorial was was made to show the 5 faces of these soldiers and the landscape around them show a peaceful environment that may demonsrate how these men were like. The 5 pillers that have come together and the size of the memorial show how much these men meant to the community.
Great find. Had you ever really looked at it closely before or given it much thought?
