The Memorial commemorates Lake Champlain’s significant naval history, and honors all men and women who have served, and currently serve, the U.S. military. The US Navy Memorial Foundation approved Vermont’s Burlington Waterfront as the second site outside the nation’s capitol, and the first civilian site, to be awarded this honor. The Memorial and Lone Sailor statue were made by Vermont granite company, Rock of Ages, crafters of the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. Stanley Bleifeld is the US Navy Memorial sculptor and creator of the Lone Sailor statue.
