"The Survivor"
Military
2
Commissioned in 1925, this memorial by Helmuth VonZengen represents three soldiers: one wounded, one deceased, and one survivor standing guard with rifle in hand amidst the chaos of World War I. A broad community effort, begun in 2017 and funded by grants, in-kind labor, and generous donations, made the restoration possible. South Boardman artist Chris Moran was commissioned to restore the fine artwork on the face, while Midland concrete artist Erick Forshee restored and polished the rest. The memorial was rededicated on June 30, 2018.
