Glens Falls Honors Veterans at Crandall Park

Glens Falls honored Veterans on Friday, November 11th, with a ceremony in front of the Peace and Victory Monument at Crandall Park. Opening remarks were made by Commander Zink from Glens Falls American Legion Post 233. He was also the organizer of the event. Remarks were made by Glens Falls Mayor Bill Collins, and Queensbury Supervisor John Strough.

The guest speaker was retired USMC Sgt. Major Chris Thomas. Sgt. Major Thomas spoke of his twenty years of service and the need to do more for Veterans once they have returned home after serving our country.

This Monument is located in front of the Glens Falls YMCA at the corner of Route 9 and Fire Road. The Peace and Victory Monument is inscribed, “To those who served in our nation’s wars through whose courage and sacrifice came victory and peace”. It was sculpted by Bruce Wilder Saville, a veteran of World War 1. Saville’s art career was interrupted by his service in World War 1.

Saville was studying art in Paris when he decided to enlist in the French Ambulance Corps. He then transferred to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1917 when the U.S. entered the war. Seville’s service gave him insight into the emotions of war. The depth of his feelings about war was reflected in the Monuments that he would create.  Saville has twenty three works listed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Art Inventory Catalog. For more information on Saville’s contribution to the art world please visit americanartinfo@si.edu
