Visitors to the
Living Memorial Sculpture Garden are met with a number of emotionally-driven sculptures that represent various figures from multiple wars that have been fought by the U.S. during the twentieth century. Each metallic sculpture tells a story and its apparent by viewing each piece of work that the artist, Dennis Smith, is trying to invoke sympathy and acknowledgement from the viewer to the atrocities that wars cause to civilizations -- the U.S. is no exception.
In the heart of the sculpture garden lie a number of grave markers that encompass individuals who either gave their lives in the line of duty or are veterans of various wars who chose to be buried in this memorial garden. There are also a couple of veteran memorials in this part of the memorial garden. One particular memorial reads:
To my Brother
Black Crow
1968 Vietnam
"Gave His Life
For His Country
And Our Freedom"
I searched online for information regarding Black Crow and could not find anything significant.
