Kennedy and Yarboroug Statue

Visited Fort Bragg for a very important ceremony in the building behind this very important statue.  Great day.  "This statue depicts in bronze the figures of President John F. Kennedy and Brigadier General William P. Yarborough as they consult during Kennedy's visit to Fort Bragg on October 12, 1961. Yarborough stands at attention with his arms at his side and wearing the beret, symbol of the Special Forces, as the president speaks in approval of its official use. The statues stand somewhat larger than life, at over seven feet tall. They stand atop a polished granite oval which is mounted on a rectangular granite plinth. The face of the oval base is inscribed in gold inlay to commemorate the green beret as the symbol of the excellence and honor of the soldiers who wear it. The plinth below is inscribed in gold inlay with the names of the figures on the front face and the date on the rear."  test copied.
