American Soldiers Statue
In 1980, a statue of three American World War
II soldiers was presented to the Academy and
the Corps of Cadets by the classes of 1935 and
1936. It was dedicated "To The American
Soldier" and became the first statue at West Point
to honor our nation's enlisted personnel. The statue is north
of Lusk Reservoir.
The nine-foot bronze sculpture was sculpted by Felix de Weldon, who
also did the Iwo Jima Statue at Arlington National Cemetery.
