Carved in the sunlight of Italy by the talented hands of American artist Robert L. Dean, this towering statue of Gen. MacArthur finds its permanent home along the Milwaukee waterfront at Veterans’ Park. Originally intended for MacArthur Square in the Milwaukee Civic Center Plaza, Gen. MacArthur, depicted in a full-figure likeness with his iconic muttonchops, has stood watch since June 1979 – a whopping 80 years after he first donned the uniform at the United States Military Academy. Under the stern gaze of this action-loving general, you won't find a moment's peace – just a hearty leader who fought for his country, born and bred in the very city he now entertains with his stoic presence.
