SACRIFICE
Sacrifice holds her child in one arm and lifts the other high. She appears to be waving, either bidding farewell or welcoming home. Military personnel and their families make sacrifices each day enduring separation and loss.
As you explore these galleries, you'll meet St. Louisans who made sacrifices overseas and on the home front.
Four monumental sculptures by St. Louisan Walker Hancock flank the entrances to Soldiers Memorial. Each represents an essential quality of service members and their families: courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and vision.
