Remember the fallen

These transparent figures will watch over fallen military during the annual Memorial Day display at Pennington Park.

New this year at Pennington Park’s Memorial Day display will be five hand-crafted transparent statues representing WWI and WWII military service personnel guarding the display of 2,000 U.S. flags, said park owner Kurt Pfitzner.

“There will be a WWI infantryman; a WWII soldier, a Navy man and a nurse at the ends of the walkway through the flag, and at the flagpole, there will be an officer holding a salute in respect and remembrance,” said Pfitzner, a retired Air Force colonel who has 32 years of active service.
