Different versions of a picture
book were available to send back to families and to keep for future
memories at most training facilities during the war. The statue "Salute" was ordered by MG Bruce Magruder as a morale booster dedicated to the sacrifices being made by American youth in the war effort. It was sculpted by Tech Sgt. Simon G. Michael, of Cleveland and New York, a nationally famous sculptor in civilian life. In spare time from training duties, Sgts Glenn Amon and Eugene Fruhwirth were ordered to pose as the model for the renowned sculptor. |
