On Nov. 7, the city of Paramount unveiled its newest art piece “The Battlefield Cross and Solider,” designed by the National Sculptors Guild , installed at the Paramount Armed Forces Memorial. The life-sized kneeling soldier pays tribute at the foot of a fallen soldier’s cross.
A Soldier’s Cross is a powerful military symbol honoring fallen soldiers during wartime. Traditionally, it consists of a soldier’s rifle stuck into the ground, often with a helmet on top, signifying a soldier who has made the ultimate sacrifice. The statue serves as a solemn reminder of the bravery displayed by those who protect and serve. Check it out at City Hall this month in Honor of Veterans everywhere.
