Honoring the Fallen
Soldier's and Sailor's Cross Statues and Gold Star Plaques
Soldier's Cross
The traditional Soldier's Cross depicts the boots, weapon and helmet of the fallen. Mount America has also developed a Sailor's Cross to remember the Naval Special Warfare groups as well.
Many of these have been placed around the country to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is our hope that these memorials become a gathering place for patriotic events in the community and of reflection on the cost of freedom.
