I finally got the chance to see the Mormon Battalion Monument in Salt Lake. The statues were beautiful and represented those faithful men and women well.
This part honors the women who were left behind during the march. It includes a quote from one woman saying she would "rather be a soldier's widow than a coward's wife." So much faith.
This was probably my favorite statue. I am sure that the time spent on their knees was what gave them the strength to accomplish the task at hand.
A tearful goodbye.
