Rose to artist Ned Giberson who has surfaced again to create a replica of the eagle which was at the Western Military grounds in a garden near the front of the gate at what is now Mississippi Valey Christian School. Plans are to have a 12-foot high interpretive obelisk in place by Memorial. Also a rose to those working on the Western Military project, raising the funds. Giberson is most known for his sculpting of the Robert Wadlow statue on College Avenue in Alton.
