A squad of 7-foot (2.1-meter) infantrymen cast in bronze for an anti-terrorism memorial will be delivered to a Georgia museum this week by the central Ohio sculptor who created the statues. Army veteran Alan Cottrill and a team of artists spent more than a year making the nine soldiers for the Global War on Terrorism Memorial, reported the Columbus Dispatch . The memorial is scheduled to be dedicated later this month at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia, near Fort Benning. Each of the 750-pound (340-kilogram) statues depicts how post-Sept. 11 U.S. combat soldiers look, including details of their uniforms and weapons. The Zanesville, Ohio sculptor will install the statues Tuesday.
