The Muscoda Area
Veteran’s Memorial
No company could be
more honored than Eternal Art Monument Co. for being selected to erect the
Muscoda Area Veteran’s Memorial. This unique, one a kind memorial was
designed by Roddy & Lorinda Dull and inspired by this beautiful area that
has called to duty so many of it’s young men and women to protect and defend
our freedom. The free spirit, back to nature design of this memorial has a
30 foot shape of an eagle imbedded in the center of the concrete walkways.
The eagle not only stands for freedom and honor, but by design offers a
symbol of respect to a Native American population that once lived here and
still occupies land in the Muscoda area. The memorial is designed to be
viewed from many angles, not really having a front or back. There will be
nine black granite tablets in the memorial, similar to the one shown at the
top of this page, when the project is finished. Each tablet will sit at a
different height in the mounded areas throughout the memorial and have area
veteran’s names on each side of each tablet. At the top of each stone, on
each side, their will be a scene hand etched by Lorinda-Larson Dull that
will give due respect to different times in our military history.
Members of a
Muscoda Area Veteran’s Memorial group raised virtually all of the funds
necessary to complete the project in just over two years. Eternal Art
Monument Co. assisted the group in their fundraising by making an exact
scale model of the project for the group to display, by donating signs and
banners to help the group draw awareness to the project and by donating all
of the etchings on all of the stones to help make the project more
affordable.
Even though this
project was bid prior to the 2007, 2008 recession and the $4.00 a gallon
fuel crisis, Eternal Art Monument Company plans to complete the project at
or under the budget quote from 2007.
This beautiful
memorial is scheduled to be dedicated on Memorial Day, Monday May 25th 2009.
The dedication is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.
If your Veteran’s
or Civic Group is considering erecting a memorial we hope that you would
consider Eternal Art Monument Company. Eternal Art Monument company will not
only offer you exciting new ideas in monument design but would be honored to
work with your group in anyway possible from the planning, to the fund
raising and finally the finished project.
