Brown Memorials: Stories in Stone

Stories In Stone

Desert Storm
Symbolism in the Desert Storm monument reflects the Gulf War and culture

The massive monolith is like a "desert shield" stuck in the sand even as the men and women took a firm stand during Desert Shield
The crescent moon represents Islam and the "pincer movement"
The earth tones represent desert rock and camouflage

This monument won first place in The American Institute of Commemorative Art Design Contest. Two monuments were created. One is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and the other is in Florence, South Carolina.

Holocaust Memorial

The four corner posts symbolize guard towers
The chain represents the barbed wire of the concentration camps
The monolith appears to be rising from the ashes (rocks) symbolizing Israel's rise into a powerful nation despite persecution
The Star of David represents Judaism
The carved tablets symbolize the Ten Commandments
The barbed wire carvings following each line are a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust

Lit both day and night the memorial stands as a constant reminder of the Holocaust so that these horrors may never be repeated! It is located at Temple Beth Israel, Florence, South Carolina.
