Travel Tuesdays - St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis - Firemen's Memorial
I came across this touching statue in St. Louis, Missouri. I was at a conference on a break between sessions and dashing around town as fast as I could trying to see everything I could squeeze in my limited time.

More info: The memorial has a bronze statue of a fireman carrying a little girl by R. P. Daus and stands on a granite base. The base is inscribed with "Dedicated to St. Louis firefighters past, present and future." The memorial was installed in 1994.

    Very interesting Joan. Ironic that my post today also is a firefighter holding a child! Your reminds me of the heart wrenching photo of a fireman carrying a child from the day care during the Oklahoma City blast. Remember that one?

    Nice statue honoring a very deserving group. I've always heard it said St. Louis is a great city to be from. ;)

    I like seeing the statue from behind, facing the gorgeous facade of the building across the way.

    I love the way the (beautiful) building looms up in front of him in this perspective.
