1/10
By Jim Rocco (August 2020)
Created in the Covid year of 2020 to honor the memory of all people past and present who endure personal suffering and sacrifice in order to make our country a better place to live for all Americans.
The work is inspired by the Signers of the Declaration of Independence who faced much uncertainty, suffering, financial ruin, torture, even death. The sculpture is placed on an unspoiled stretch of land facing sunset 365 days per year. Chrome hubcaps create an eye-catching glare of reflected sunlight which hopefully awakens the viewer to notice this flag and remember the steep price that was paid long ago and continues to be paid for our freedoms of today.
Below is a link to a summary of the sacrifices made written by Michael W. Smith entitled
‘The Sacrifices made by the Declaration Signers.’
