Peace Memorial
Date Unknown / Savo Savich / Linndale
The 9-foot high statue is cast in bronze and standing on a 6-foot high pedestal. The front of the pedestal reads, "Through Knowledge Peace." Standing on a globe is a young soldier who has thrown his gun under his feet. Holding high the book of knowledge he was reading, a dove flies out with an olive branch of peace. On the globe, through clouds is the history of mankind's warfare, from sticks and stones , through spears and cavaliers, to guns and bombs. An adjacent wall is shaped as an open book with plaques inscribed with the names of soldiers killed in Vietnam. On the front is inscribed "Peace to Mankind" and "Peace on Earth."
