This is cast from working model for the First Division Memorial, President's Park, Washington D.C. Fortunately I have also seen the final version, which stands in Washington DC, and have included those photos. Scroll down to the last two images in this post...

The plaque reads..

How often does this happen, that a big truck, van, or a SUV, is standing right in front of the building you want to photograph, and it just would not move from there!
