Summary:
Full-length uniformed soldier stands on a low, flat base. He wars a unfiorm, which includes a backpack, canteen, ammunition belt and a helmet, held behind his back in his proper left hand. A downward pointing rifle hangs from his proper right shoulder. The figure leans with his upraised proper right arm, against a wall with rough-hewn edges. The wall bears a large plaque which honors Orange County citizens who served in the armed forces during America's twentieth century wars. There is a bench behind the wall.
