Voice over of the Winged Victory Monument
In a solemn and patriotic ceremony on the capitol
grounds on May 30, 1938, the Winged Victory Monument was dedicated to
the memories of World War I veterans. The bronze sculpture features a
twelve-foot tall figure of Winged Victory surrounded by the figures
of a soldier, a sailor, a marine, and a Red Cross nurse. A bronze
inscription is also included at the base of the statue, which is
positioned at the strategic location just in front of the entry to
the capitol.
Other memorials and monuments include World War II Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Medal of Honor Memorial, and the POW/MIA Memorial.
