"4th of July, 1943"
Sculptor: Jenelle Armstrong Byrd
"During World War II, American children, recognizing the gravity of the war, spontaneously paid homage to their uncles and fathers and to our flag." "One day in Corsicana, Texas, my mother ran for her camera when she saw my brother (the youngest of the four boys) and his playmates holding a parade with homemade guns. "
"I dedicate this sculpture to my uncle, Pvt. Luther Dewey
Putman, who was killed in the liberation of France, and to his two sons
who never knew him."
