The Truth JOSH CRAINE About Bronze
Memorials to fallen soldiers , historic events , and revered citizens can be found in almost every park , common and town green in the Commonwealth , and throughout the region . They range in size , complexity , age and material . There are plaques , architecture , figurative sculptures , fountains , ornaments , and larger memorials which include more than one element . Often in public spaces memorials are a — if not the — focal point of the designed landscape .
