While walking around, I noticed that Madison Square Park has over a hundred monuments and memorials. Memorials come in many various forms; they can be as simple as a bench with a message on it or as large as a statue of a person or object. For example, the memorial honoring American veterans was one of the monuments that really amazed me. The 125-foot-tall Eternal Light Flagstaff’s primary feature is its construction from bronze and Milford pink granite. After a closer look, I discovered that the memorial was placed there after World War I. This memorial makes me think of another one I saw honoring American veterans close to Bay Ridge. People like us wish to honor our nation’s heroes and express our gratitude for their bravery in saving our country, which is why we are commemorating this event. The people of the United States would be the intended audience in this instance. Given their resemblance to a candle in appearance, they were given the title of “Eternal Candle,” signifying that they would live forever. The memorial’s components can be interpreted to have sympathy and create an emotional connection with the observer. The main feature of the park’s entry is this memorial. A few weeks ago, it was Veterans Day, flowers and signs were placed next to the statue, and some people dropped by to view the memorial. This statue, in my opinion, is beneficial in honoring the World War I veterans since it may attract large crowds of people and attention.
