Paramount Armed Forces Memorial

8/30/2024

0 Comments

 
Update 8/30/2024: Site work for the Armed Forces Memorial commissioned by the City of Paramount has been underway by our team in California, Advanced Aquatics. They have done a superb job forming and pouring the 15-ft diameter foundation for the granite Seals to lay on.

Meanwhile, Clark Memorials in Alabama has completed the bronze elements. This memorial has involved individuals and companies from across the nation; Colorado, Washington, Alabama, and California; how fitting for a space that honors those who serve and remembers those who have sacrificed all for our country.

#wipwednesday  Our next placement for the City of Paramount is making big progress, the stone for the circular plaza has been cut, finished and etched with the Armed Forces Seals. Special thanks to Coverall Stone for making this portion happen.  You can see from our conceptual approach, this is a major part of the Armed Forces Memorial. This placement is next to the Veteran's Memorial Plaza by Mark Leichliter that we placed in 2007, and the soldier will be facing the American Flag that is set between the two memorials.  We anticipate sharing images of the completed Battlefield Cross bronze soon, followed by an installation update.

​You can see from our conceptual approach, this is a major part of the Armed Forces Memorial. This placement is next to the Veteran's Memorial Plaza by NSG charter member Mark Leichliter that we placed in 2007, and the soldier will be facing the American Flag that is set between the two memorials. Mark helped us again with this project providing the vector graphics for the seals that were etched into the stone.

Update March 12, 2024: The Battlefield Cross and Soldier sculpture that Clark Memorials in Alabama designed has been resculpted and is finished in clay ready to begin the bronze casting process.

The City of Paramount was drawn to a similar sculpture from Clark Memorials and wanted that to be the central element of their updated memorial. The National Sculptors' Guild has worked with over 200 artists and studios over the past 30+ years to successfully place monumental sculpture. We are pleased that the Guild can help cities find the right statement for their space even when it doesn't include one of our members. Contact us if you are a city or corporation looking for a statement sculpture.

June 28, 2023: The National Sculptors' Guild is honored to have been selected by the City of Paramount, California to update their Armed Forces Plaza to include the new branches. 

A life-sized kneeling soldier pays tribute at the foot of a Fallen Soldier cross. This bronze sculpture will be placed in the center of a circular plaza, facing in the direction of the Veteran's Memorial sculpture "Unfolding" by Mark Leichliter. This also positions the soldier kneeling in the direction of the American flag, and creates a natural flow from one plaza to the next.

The bronze sculpture will be set in the center of a 15-ft black granite circle that is composed from six equal triangles that meet at a 2.5-ft diameter circle in the middle. Seals of each branch are etched on outer diameter of the granite plaza. The existing Elks medallion from the previous memorial will be placed at the center, between the figure and battlefield cross. Our design is shown to the left.
