LOYALTY
Loyalty holds his sword upside-down, openly offering his weapon and his allegiance. He represents loyalty to country to comrades and leadership, and to family.
Within Soldiers Memorial, You'll see how loyalty shapes and defines the reasons people serve in the military. You'll also find out what loyalty means to service members and their families.
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.
