Excerpt from Plaque:
The angel stands 17 feet tall and is dedicated to the fallen from Smithville and Bastrop County who served in the armed forces during the War on Terror. She is holding replicas of the dog tags of those six men and one woman, whose names are inscribed in the Book of Life behind her.
Religion Facts
In the Christian religion, angels are spiritual beings who serve God. The Bible teaches that angels were created by God, but it doesn't say when they were created. They are depicted as praising God at the time of creation, which suggests that they existed prior to that moment (cf. Job 38:4-7).
The Greek word translated into English as "angel" simply means messenger, which describes the role they have as God's servants (cf. Heb. 1:14). More specifically, the Bible depicts angels bringing messages to God's people (e.g. Luke 1:26-27), protecting God's people (e.g. Psalm 91:11), and bringing judgment upon God's enemies. (e.g. Matt. 13:49-50)"
