Battle of the Bulge – 64 years ago

Angel of Peace

Sixty four years ago the battle we call “the Bulge” was reaching its climax. San Diego sculptor Donal Hord created this Angel of Peace to stand over the graves of American dead at Henri Chapelle, Belgium. It stands 12 feet tall on an 18 foot pylon.


And as long as we are looking at war memorials, Maya Lin, who created the Vietnam Memorial, has a new sculpture making the rounds and an interesting discussion of it led by Cynthia Houng.

A much less prominent, but no less powerful memorial to our current wars appears each Sunday at Arlington West.
