The Three Soldiers statue, also known as Three Servicemen, is a bronze statue located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was unveiled on Veterans Day, November 11, 1984, and is part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which commemorates the Vietnam War.
The statue was created by sculptor Frederick Hart and was added to the memorial to provide a more traditional component alongside Maya Lin's abstract design for the Memorial Wall. The Three Soldiers statue represents the diversity of the troops who served in Vietnam, with one figure representing an African American soldier, one representing a Caucasian soldier, and one representing a Latino American soldier. The statue depicts the soldiers in uniform, carrying weapons, and conveys a sense of unity and sacrifice.
The Three Soldiers statue is located a short distance from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and is one of the features of the memorial. It complements the Wall and offers an alternative memorial for those who preferred a more traditional approach. The memorial also includes the Vietnam Women's Memorial, which honors the women who served in the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, including the Three Soldiers statue, is open to the public 24 hours a day and receives millions of visitors each year. It serves as a tribute to the brave members of the U.S. Armed Forces who fought in the Vietnam War and were killed or went missing in action.

I can have boots looking like patent leather on the toes and heals. Mirror fucking finish.

My boys didn't have much use for me until they went into JROTC in high school. They were trying to polish their shoes one night and making a big mess of it. "Let me show you how to do that," I said. An hour later they had shines like glass and, even better, they knew how to do it themselves. Suddenly, I "knew stuff".
