The Statues project will serve as a representation of the individuals who serve and have served at Fort Campbell. The display, to be situated at the south end of Patriots Park, will be made up of nine Corteen steel statues depicting soldiers in various military occupational specialties.

The goal is to make Patriots park a special place that reflects the community’s gratitude toward the men and women of  Fort Campbell.

At the Thursday MAC meeting, a scale model was presented depicting the “Statues of Patriots Park” project.“This is a project that has been in the works for several years, and I am pleased to announce today that we have created this concept and are ready to begin aggressively raising funds to have this ready for the public to enjoy as soon as possible,” said Durrett.
