<Bolton Veterans’ Memorial – “The Scout” Location: Main Street, Town of Bolton, New York Medium: Bronze Dimensions:
7’ tall Year completed: 2000
Whether he is patrolling the hedgerows of Normandy, the jungles of the South Pacific, or the frozen
mountains of Korea, this is a scene far to familiar to many veterans. He is on a Reconnaissance
mission. Walking as stealthily as he can, this infantryman keeps a low profile. Placing one foot carefully in front of the
other, he keeps his finger near the trigger but not on it to prevent an accidental discharge of this Thompson sub machine
gun. He carries all of his equipment tied down to avoid making any noise that might alert the enemy. He wears the stripes
and wrinkles of a seasoned NCO. His experience tells him to stay alert. As the scout steps onto a stone, he hears something
off to his right. He freezes for a moment and shifts only his eyes. He knows his mission is not to engage the enemy, but
instinct tells him, if need be, he will dispatch his foe.

Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial

< Brazos Valley Veterans' Memorial Location: Brazos Valley Memorial Park, College Station, Texas
Medium: Bronze Dimensions: 7’high X 4 ½’ wide X 6 ½’ deep Year completed: 2002 During a
lull in combat, the cry “medic” is heard in the distance. Armed with only a medic bag and raw courage, this non-combatant
exposes himself to enemy fire and makes his way towards the distant cry. In a covered area, he finds a wounded member of
his platoon. The wound is serious. Without hesitation, he stabilizes the wound and prepares to evacuate his friend. Without
concern for his own safety and struggling under the weight of the wounded man, the medic musters every ounce of strength he
has to save his friends’ life. The Brazos Valley Veterans' Memorial is a bronze sculpture mounted upon a Texas granite
base on twelve acres of College Station’s Veteran and Athletic Park. The memorial honors veterans who have served in
the uniformed services of the United States. Its purpose is to ensure that the generations that follow us will forever recall
with pride our veterans’ sacrifice on behalf of the United States of America. Brazos Valley Veterans' Memorial
