This bronze statue of a frontier mother and her children is one of the first sights you see upon entering the cemetery on Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. It stands as a mute testimony to the hardships faced by the families of soldiers in the late 19th Century. It also symbolizes the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families as we enter and face the foes of a new century.

That's a beautiful statute, J - thank you for posting it, and for the little bit of history behind it.
