LIBERATION
POW Monument for the new Miramar National Cemetery, San Diego, California
In preparation for creating this sculpture, I asked the POWs to write a few words about how it felt to be liberated. Below are their writings. The originals are now part of the Veterans Museum, Balboa Park, San Diego, California.
