Statue and Tomb of Doomed Astronaut - Lake City SC - Roadside Attractions on Waymarking.com

McNair's death was a blow to his small South Carolina home town, which wanted to remember him. The granite wall went up in 1995. Placed in front of it was a life-size, smiling, bronze McNair wearing his Space Shuttle jumpsuit and holding a helmet. To complete the memorial plaza, in 2004 McNair was removed from his grave five miles away and re-entombed in a sarcophagus next to the statue. An "eternal flame" flickers in front of it, an old-style gas street lamp. All in all, not something that you expect to see next to a terrestrial public library. - Source: (visit link)
