This horse soldier statue accurately depicts the US response to the attacks on Pennsylvania fields and Pentagon halls 15 years ago. The statue is human life-size. Also, below the rider is a plaque that briefly describes the deployment of Army Special Operations Forces, Air Force Special Operations Forces, and CIA-led forces on the ground in Afghanistan in the 35 days following 9/11.
The sculpture also commemorates the first use of horses in combat by the U.S. Army since 1942. Now, the bronze sculpture watches over the Ground Zero Memorial in New York City.
Horse Soldier Statue Introduction:
This bronze sculpture is known as De Opresso Liber Statue, America’s Response Monument, or Horse Soldiers Statue. On September 13, 2016, the horse soldier statue circled New York City to the cheers of the crowd. This bronze military monument shows the courage and wisdom of soldiers. The military provided protection for innocents killed 15 years ago. The sculpture represents the nation’s determination to seek justice and its condemnation of war and violence.
The rider seemed to be urging his men on, charging into battle. This bronze monumental sculpture highlights the fusion of ancient and modern warfare. The Bronze Soldier Statue sits in the northeast corner of the small park, half-hidden by trees.
Against a clear blue sky, the sculpture is a memorial to craftsmanship and pride. Riders face two identical reflecting pools that once formed the foundations of the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center.
Where is the Horse Soldier Statue Located?
The statue was moved to the newly-opened Liberty Park where it now stands guard over the attack site. The 18-foot bronze statue depicts a Green Beret soldier on horseback.
