Ennis Montana Veteran's Memorial



I was asked back in 2000 to create a bronze for a future Veteran's Memorial. I spent two and half months creating that bronze that was dedicated along with the Memorial, July 4th 2001.I had no idea of the events that would happen on September 11, 2001. It hit me as I drove up towards the Memorial and seeing the flag suddenly at Half Mast that afternoon, that what I was a part of would now nave even deeper meaning.
