Air Force Monument, Military sculpture in Oklahoma City, United States.
The Air Force Monument is a sculpture in Kerr Park that stands approximately 12 feet tall, depicting a figure holding the United States Air Force seal. An eagle is positioned above the figure's head, and the military uniform and equipment are rendered with careful attention to detail.
The monument was completed in 1964 by sculptor Leonard McMurry as a tribute to military service. Following restoration work in 2002, it returned to public view in 2003 after a period away.
The memorial honors Oklahomans who lost their lives serving in the Air Force and acknowledges the role of Tinker Air Force Base in the state's military heritage. Visitors today see it as a place of remembrance for those who made sacrifices for the nation.
The monument is located in the southeast section of Kerr Park and can be reached via North Broadway Avenue, south of Robert S Kerr Avenue. The site is easily accessible on foot and visible from surrounding walkways.
The sculpture was created by Leonard McMurry, a local artist whose work is less well known compared to his contemporaries. His careful rendering of military details reveals his mastery of this specific subject matter.
