I know the General's statue is not acceptable, but these were so great I thought I should share.
Proper description: "Flanked by two side figures and a fountain basin. The proper right figure is a young boy kneeling with a flagstaff resting on his proper left shoulder and flag draped behind his shoulder. The proper left figure is of a young boy with oak or acanthus plant growing behind him and extending over his lap. He holds a torch in his proper left hand; a scroll in his proper right hand." ~ Smithsonian American Art Museum
