| The Crisis
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and
the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of
their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and
thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the
more glorious the triumph."- "Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776
During the American War of Independence, General George Washington
ordered that these words be read to the troops at Valley Forge, on
Christmas Eve, shortly before the crossing of the Delaware. For over
two hundred years, we have turned to those citizens who, in times of
grave crisis, stand by our country. Each of us has been endowed by our
Creator with the unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness. Those rights have been and will be secured by the men and
women of our armed forces.
War Memorials are a poignant, visible and constant reminder that the
freedoms that we enjoy every day have come at a cost. That cost,
often, the ultimate sacrifice, has and will be made by others for us.
Through his art and literature, Doyle Glass has dedicated his life to
honoring those that have made that sacrifice. Please visit the various
war memorials on this page and learn more about our war heroes. Before
you leave, please make your own special tribute to our heroes by
leaving a message in our guest book. |
DOYLE GLASS is a soul on a mission; a sculptor and historian who is
dedicated to preserving the heritage of the American war hero through
art and literature. While other artists have turned their attention to
creating monuments to our heroes, few have done so with the enthusiasm
and dedication to historical accuracy as has this sculptor of honor,
valor and courage. From twelve inch maquettes to eight foot heroic
monuments; planning, placement, raising of funds and overall
consultation, Doyle Glass has set uncompromising standards of
excellence and authenticity that few others can equal. From conception
to completion, Doyle Glass is the source in America today for any
memorial or monument to our servicemen and women. All monuments begin
with an idea: a sense of mission born in communities throughout our
country. To help bring your idea to honor your war hero to life, please
contact Doyle Glass to help make that idea a reality. |
