This one is called "The Gift" by artist Michael Naranjo.
The artist's statement says: "In creating this piece, I was asked to depict something that would represent all veterans. I chose the figure of the Indian to represent the indigenous veteran, the native warrior. His arms are uplifted releasing a dove, a universal symbol of peace. I came up with the concept to represent men and women of any race, creed or belief who served in the defense of the beliefs of their homeland."

Pretty - we need more native representation in this country
Good one, Sharon.
Happy Memorial Day Sharon, the sculpture is superb and perfect for this day 💙
It's a beautiful sculpture.
I like very much this kind of celebration to honor the soldiers who fought for their country. It's a beautiful sculpture.
A nice sculpture -- but there seems to be an awful lot of signage surrounding him! I think he'd make more of an impact in a less wordy environment.
Quite moving.
Beautiful and graceful
Lest we forget, very important to remember these days.
