Ross Power interviewed combat veterans from these conflicts, creating a documented oral history.  From these interviews he integrated words that best captured the emotion and recollection of these Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen.
 
Power said, "This sculpture is Word Art . The words are authentic, straight from the veterans mouth. As you walk into and through this "Memorial Sculpture,"you will also read inspiring & informing words that will enable you to feel the true impact of the veterans actual experience through there own words."
