The unveiling of 'A Soldier's Journey' on September 13 marks a significant milestone in honoring World War I, celebrating not only the soldiers but the revitalization of Pershing Park.
'We like to think we're doing a service by building a memorial that's not on the National Mall. We hope we're showing that it's possible to build a well-visited memorial farther out in Washington,' said Fountain.
The transformation of Pershing Park into a community space with a reflective water feature signals an evolution in how Washington honors its historical legacies, broadening the definition of memorials.
After a decade-long journey, the addition of this bronze sculpture complements the dynamic landscape of DC's memorials, enriching the capital's commemoration of military history.
