WWII American GI Statue
The proposal for a bronze GI Statue is becoming a reality after over a year. It will be similar to the bronze GI Statue that was erected in 1983 by the people of Luxembourg in the City of Clervaux, as a memorial to the American GI's who liberated their country during World War II.
The proposed American bronze GI Statue will be dedicated to all those Veterans who served our great country during World War II and will be located in the vicinity of the Veterans, Battle of the Bulge monument in the area just north of the Power Museum in Jefferson Barracks Park.
The statue, along with the patio, stone mounting base, landscaping, lighting, etc. is estimated to cost between $50,000- $60,000.
Stewart Piper is serving as the chairman of the proposed GI Statue project, and Dave Schroeder has volunteered to serve as Fundraising Chairman.
Donations to the GI Statue can be made by sending your check to the GI Statue Fund, St. Louis Gateway Treasurer P O Box 6503, St. Louis, MO 63125. The names of all those contributing $25 or more will be included in the “Book of Honor”.
GI Statue at Clervaux
The ICONBronze sculptors located in Utah have been selected to sculpt the bronze GI Statue. This will be a life size figure, over six feet tall, of an American GI in full battle dress. The bronze statue will be mounted on a stone base so that all can see just what a World War II GI looked like when dressed for combat.
