Ode to Heroes:

The Replica of the Normandy Statue in France,

rising at the

Americana at Brand

    “The gilded sculpture of a young man rising from the fountain … was installed in 2008. The 18-foot mold was made from a plaster cast of artist Donald Harcourt De Lue’s post-World War II work, The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves. The original is at the Normandy American Cemetery in France.” (from L.A. Magazine at lamag. com).
