I wanted to create an image that reflects the soldier as if he has just returned from a patrol and came directly to the memorial to honor his friends. The soles of his boots are worn. He holds his gloves in a clenched fist of resolve. His weapons are an M4 Carbine and an M9 Beretta. The female is presented as a support troop. Average Americans become extraordinary when they take the oath, raise their weapon, and stare into the face of our enemies…so that we don’t have to. Dimensions: 13.5″ h x 11″ w x 8.5″ d
