Soldiers' National Monument, Memorial sculpture in Gettysburg National Cemetery, United States.
The Soldiers' National Monument features five marble statues, including Liberty at the top and four figures representing War, History, Peace, and Plenty at the base.
The monument's cornerstone placement occurred on July 4, 1865, and its dedication took place on July 1, 1869, following the Civil War's conclusion.
The structure incorporates eighteen bronze stars at its base, representing the Union states whose soldiers rest in the National Cemetery grounds.
Visitors can find the monument in the center of the National Cemetery, approximately 40 yards from where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
Massachusetts provided funding for the monument, while the Liberty statue was sculpted in Rome and shipped to the United States in October 1868.
