ANSWER THE CALL - SAVE OUR SOLDIER!

State of Disrepair

The years have not been easy on this Union Soldier.  The structural integrity of the statue has been compromised by exposure to the elements.  Cracks have formed and water has infiltrated the interior of the monument.  The base was bulging from the stress, and the figure of the soldier was leaning backwards in a precarious position.  An art conservator who inspected the monument urged that we take the statue down before it falls and is irreparably damaged.

Additionally, at some point in its history, the musket was stolen from the soldier's arms.
