But not her spirit. Her patriotic crozier with the Lockport designator topped by a small eagle remains straight and solid. Lady Liberty, wearing a WW-1 combat helmet, continues her watch over Lockport today just as she has every day since 1930. She has seen thousands of Lockportains go off to war in foreign lands and military service in all states and around the world. The monument is a masterpiece and the park is a jewel of Lockport.
Dramatic lighting illuminates the monument at night.
Below, many plaques put up by various groups honor their membership and associates. There's also a credit plaque for those responsible for most every phase of the monument's construction. Other plaques added years after the monument was put up with donated funds of the community, proclaim memorial recognition for Korean and Vietnam warriors. As with the national monuments in Washington, DC, strangely, there is no memorial plaque for World War II veterans. The monument was inspired by the service of WW-1 vets but does not single them out for any special recognition.
