Did I read that this was modeled from a picture? It would mean more to me if it were a bronze representation of an actual moment. Otherwise rather contrived.

The Flight 232 Memorial that was put up in the city where I live was created from an actual photo and seems to mean quite a lot to those involved.

That said, if the soldiers who ponied up the $18,000 are happy with it, who am I to criticize?
