This bronze statue depicting a fallen soldier battlefield cross from the Vietnam War is a powerful and emotional tribute to those who lost their lives in the conflict. The statue features an M16 rifle, the standard issue weapon of American troops during the Vietnam War, firmly planted into the ground with its bayonet fixed, symbolizing the soldier’s weapon left on the battlefield. Perched atop the rifle’s stock is a combat M1 helmet which rests with a solemn air, representing the fallen soldier’s presence and sacrifice. At the base of the rifle, a pair of jungle boots are positioned side by side. These boots, characterized by their rugged design, are detailed with laces and the wear and tear from the harsh jungle terrain, adding to the realism and emotional impact of the statue. The statue is finished with a dark bronze patina that enhances the solemn and respectful tone of the piece. The dark hue evokes a sense of gravity and honor, suitable for a memorial piece. Over time, the patina will age gracefully, further enriching the statue’s historical significance.
We can create a custom bronze plaque inscribed with a dedication such as “Fallen but Not Forgotten” and the solider’s name, rank and unit along with significant dates for an additional charge.
