United We Stand - Oklahoma City, OK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This sculpture stands on a three foot high stone platform with a flagpole flying the United States and Oklahoma flags. The sculpture depicts a young boy, perhaps ten, with his right hand over his heart, and his left hand on the end of a baseball bat, which is being supported next to him. A baseball lies at his feet. He is dressed in a T-shirt and pants, with tennis shoes. He is grinning and looking mighty proud as he honors the flags.

The stone platform has the sculpture's name in large metal letters: UNITED WE STAND. This figure is part of a larger piece of work with the same name, which has individual pieces depicting a middle-aged couple, a dog, and a young couple with three children, and a baby in arms - all saluting. The following links from Gillette, Wyoming highlight this complete sculpture and fund raising efforts to honor veterans.
