The Lone Sailor Statue City Program

The Lone Sailor statue is the iconic symbol representing the United States Navy Memorial’s mission to Honor, Recognize, and Celebrate the men and women of the Sea Services, past, present, and future; and Inform the public about their service. These meaningful statues provide a reminder to active duty, veterans, and civilians that they serve a grateful nation.
The Navy Memorial's Statue City Program began in 1997 with the placement of a Lone Sailor statue at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, IL.
There are 18 Lone Sailor Statues around the world, including the original on Navy Memorial Plaza in Washington, DC.
To learn more about installing a statue in your city, please contact Lisa Barker at lbarker@navymemorial.org or 202-380-0726.
The Lone Sailor Statue - Corpus Christi
The Navy Memorial is working closely with local veterans organizations to place a Lone Sailor statue on the Corpus Christi Bayfront. And you can help!
Steeped in Naval history, Corpus Christi has been a lynchpin to Naval Aviation since World War II and continues to play a vital role in the tactical aviation skills training of Navy and Marine Corps pilots.
It is also called home by thousands of retired and former Sailors and Marines who never forgot the city’s tremendous hospitality to our veterans.
